Gathurst

The unusual sight of a narrow gauge locomotive (No.7) pulling in to the yard at Gathurst alongside Class 25 25105 in 1978. The narrow gauge trucks are loaded with explosives, which will be transferred to gunpowder vans dropped off by the Type 2 from the pick up freight from Southport in Gathurst yard. Footnote: Apologies for the fogging on this picture but it does capture a long gone scene that wasn't widely photographed. See image 21338
