This photograph of Class 60 60006 is a rare glimpse into the world of British rail heritage. Taken on 30th October, it captures the locomotive in its late 1960s state at Doncaster Loco Works, where it underwent final preparations before being shipped to Northumberland for its next destination.
As you gaze upon this image, you are transported back to a bygone era when steam power ruled the railways. The photograph shows the train's distinctive outline, with its distinctive box-like headlamp and broad wheelbase, alongside the locomotive's imposing height and impressive chimney. Despite being over 50 years old, this Class 60 retains much of its original character, making it a unique and valuable asset for collectors and enthusiasts.
The image is taken from a low angle, giving you a sense of grandeur as the train makes its way along the tracks. The photograph is in excellent condition, with only minor wear to the surface. This is an opportunity to own a piece of British rail history that was never replicated in modern times.
