43180 - a photo on Flickriver

43180

            Slightly off the beaten track, GWR's 43180 leads another FGW-blue power car, 43189, as they form the diverted 1C84 12.57 Paddington to Plymouth working seen pulling away from Castle Cary. After a short 15 minute trip down the 'Heart of Wessex' line, the working will swing onto the West of England line at Yeovil junction for the trip to Devon over 'The Mule'.

Apparently the expression 'The Mule' - used by some in rail-enthusiast circles to describe the western end of the Waterloo to Exeter route - was not coined by  railmen (and therefore is not commonly used by them) but possibly came into being thanks to 'Bashers'/'Gricers' or whatever the prevailing collective name for a group of 'window-hangers' is.

The Crown Pet Foods (now Royal Canin) manufacturing facilities can be seen in the background -  hopefully no Mules in there in any form...
