40145

[Phoenix]

Well im surprised this hasnt been posted already but apprently 40145 did some heavy freight work on wednesday (i think) apprently the bedworth tanks were sent down the wrong line at nuneaton and seen as though the 40 was waiting to take the road to the nene valley it was called upon to drag the whole consist and 60 back over the flyover which i have to say is fair bit of hill apprently it was a sight to be seen she worked her arse and did the job and the 60 carried on it's journey and 40145 continued on her way.
sounds almost staged seen as though it's nearly the aniversry of the last BR 40 service.

Reminds me of when I witnessed a 37/5 dragging a failed 86's liner through North London a few months back.

Any photos available??
