47580 Sherburn-in-Elmet 22 July 2014

Looking superb in its Union Flag blue livery, the Stratford 47 Group's 47580 County of Essex passes underneath the B1222 road bridge at Sherburn-in-Elmet on 22 July 2014 with the West Coast Railways 1T38 10:15 York to Scarborough 'Scarborough Spa Express' railtour. The 47 was deputising for the normal steam locomotive. Due to recent hot weather, a steam ban had been imposed to prevent the risk of lineside fires.
