D6948 Southam 31 July 2016

The highlight of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's 2016 Diesel Gala was the return to traffic of D6948 (37248), after a five year restoration. The superbly restored machine is pictured passing Southam on 31 July 2016 with the 2L56 11:00 Cheltenham Racecourse to Laverton service, with an almost correct headcode! Cheltenham Racecourse station is just out of sight behind the trees. Part of the world famous racecourse can just be seen in the distance, on the extreme left.
