31438 with an Epping Ongar Railway service to Ongar waiting to depart from North Weald on a very wet 1st January 2014. When opened in 1865, this was the highest point on the Great Eastern Railway system until the opening of the Elsenham & Thaxted Light Railway in 1913 and which closed in 1952. (See my photo, image no. 78466, for details of the history of this locomotive.)
