47585 t'n't 47457 - Addingford Lane - 20/2/1987
What an image that just screams atmosphere! After reversing having spent the night hidden away on the Crigglestone Branch (standard practice for the period), 47585 'County of Cambridgeshire' leads 47457 'Ben Line' into Horbury Cutting at Addingford Lane with the Royal train Bound for Leeds and Harrogate conveying HRH Diana The Princess of Wales on Friday 20th February 1987. A class 141 nods its way toward HM with a Wakefield to Huddersfield stopper having just past a Railfreight Liveried 'Skinhead' Class 31 on an engineers train
