45001 brings a short train of steel strip along the freight lines at Chesterfield. The train may well have originated from Severn Tunnel Junction and the strip mill at Llanwern. The class 45's were equally at home on express passenger services and heavy freights. On the right is the city of Chesterfield with its famous twisted spire. On the left, it has clearly been a good year for the willowherb.
