No. 70008 passes Rectory Junction's number 65 home signal as it approaches Radcliffe on Trent station on the outskirts of Nottingham on a diverted 4L97 0624 Basford Hall - Felixstowe liner. With a fully laden train and having just come off the 30mph speed restriction that is imposed over the viaduct over the Trent the loco was working hard to get its consist back up to line speed and made a wonderful sight and sound as it passed the photographer at 0904 on Saturday 23rd April 2011.
