Class 40 40002 slowly reverses its train of empty 21 Ton Coal Hoppers across Deepdale Mill Street Level Crossing on the 15th August 1983. Once the train has reached Deepdale Junction, the 40 will haul the empties to Healey Mills Yard.
When new in 1958, D202 as the loco was then, was a regular performer on class 1 duties on the East Anglian Main Line, based at Stratford Depot and working express services from Liverpool Street - a far cry from the Deepdale Branch 25 years later!
