I believe the first railway to cross what wes then an international border was between Tourcoing and Mouscron.
However the railway between Linz and Ceske Budejovice crosses a border these days but was entirely within the Austro Hungarian empire when it opened.

Spot on! Yes, they were all built as Class 30, with the engine replacement commencing a few years after the last entered service.

Thank you.
Which was the first class 37 to be withdrawn?

Perhaps the one that had the head on crash with the original 47 named Thor? This is all a guess including that name, but was it D6843?

Well it was in collision with Thor but it wasn't D6843 (which is still operational).
Ah. The correct incident but the wrong loco. I’ve looked it up now though so I’m out!

That's the one. Please build the next question.

The one wrecked at Kibworth? (I suspect that you want a bit more than that.)

Yes....the number would be appreciated if you can remember it!

Correct! Your turn to extricate the wreckage.
It was dumped in the Derby loco works yard for a year or so
Moving on, what was the first class 47 to be withdrawn?

I believe that's correct.

I don't think that is correct.
D1734 was withdrawn a few months earlier following an accident at Coton Hill, Shrewsbury.
