LMS Stanier Pacific Princess Royal Class No. 6201 â??Princess Elizabethâ?? climbs the 1 in 80 across Corfe Common on September 28th 2016. The loco was hauling a Cathedrals Express from Victoria to Swanage. On the rear just visible is Class 47 No. 47580 "County of Essex" that would later be used to haul the train from Swanage to Southampton prior to reversal and the Princess hauling the train to Waterloo. At his stage the Class 47 appeared to be providing No. assistance, thus producing a trailing load equivalent to 12 or 13 BR Mk1s
