35018, 11.26 Carnforth Steamtown-Southall WCR ECS (5Z42, 16E), Hyde Road bridge 
 A Merchant Navy on the West Coast Mainline is not an everyday sight! 35018 'British India Line' is seen passing through Roade cutting working hard and with a good exhaust exacerbated by the cool and damp conditions. The Merchant Navy is leading the 11.26 Steamtown (Carnforth) to Southall empty stock move in preparations for a further move to Swanage for a special Southern event. Unbelievably, this is my first mainline photograph of 35018 on the mainline with my only other one taken forty-four years previously prior to its restoration, see... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/29397450204/x35018-awaiting-restoration-ropley
