Good morning everyone.
The end of another week; I hope it’s been a good one for you.
Back to a late afternoon in the 80’s at Crewe, and AC veteran 81013 shunts through the fast lines.
Hope you all have a great week ahead. Stay safe. 🫡

87243 ‘The Boys Brigade’ caught making a light engine move through Crewe station. A loco that I was always fond of, as it was the first 86 I was ever hauled by, albeit it was blue back then.
