Viewed from high above the entrance to Standedge Tunnel, at Marsden on 2 September 1987, 47497 is about to plunge into the gloomy depths with the 1M26 12:25 Newcastle to Liverpool Lime Street service. Unfortunately I only have a few pictures of Trans Pennine 47s at work, but then of course in 1987 there was plenty to keep me occupied nearer home!
