This is a rare photograph as access was on a special guided tour and this location is not accessible with a usual lineside pass. The locomotive is also unusual because to celebrate the late Queen's platinum jubilee, D1062 Western Courier was rebranded as D1040 Western Queen, which had been scrapped long ago. It a class 52 diesel hydraulic locomotive and one of seven survivors.
