I am receiving an excellent response to the 'open season' on photographs and today, 8th July 2011, I am including another five pics from five contributors. Please be patient if you have sent in pics that I havn't used yet, they will be used in following posts.




The first pic is from Richard Jones. Depicted is SGS No.2525 leaving Malakwal (Pakistan) with a mixed freight working in December 1989.

Next up is is a shot from Paul Holland taken at Barrow Hill Roundhouse. Class 40, 40013 / D213 Andiana (Cunard Lines) is pictured on the turntable. The pic is dated October 2010.
