23/01/13: A recent photo before darkness set in at Ordsall Junction of a scorched 47500. The no.2 end of the loco, closest to the camera, is the end that is scorched. News reports so far have only shown the loco only from the other side.

09/03/02: A delightful image from the archives of 47500 in happier times, nearly 11 years ago on a Settle and Carlisle route diversion - seen hauling 1M22 through Dent on the way from Carlisle to Preston. It was of course numbered 47770 at the time, and named 'Reserved'.
