Durham
The classic view of Durham cathedral from Wharton Park, as it was on 15th March 1978. Leaving Durham station, and about to cross the impressive viaduct, is 47449 on a southbound service. I was staying nearby and suffered a sleepless night thanks to engineering works on the viaduct. Trains were still crossing at low speed, but each had to explode a detonator to warn the track workers ahead.
