37235, 47280 & 47851 Bletchingdon 29 July 1991

After the demise of the Speedlink network in early July 1991, MoD traffic from the south of England made its way north on the 6M79 15:08 Eastleigh to Crewe Basford Hall working. This train would often have multiple locos on the front, as a means of moving them north. On 29 July 1991 the train was powered by 37235, with 47280 Pedigree & 47851 in tow. It is pictured passing Bletchingdon, with the disused Shipton-on-Cherwell Cement Works in the background.
