40033 - 1K12 Barrow-Crewe at Arnside. 29/08/83

            From the last roll of film I used before moving fully to slide film. 
Wish I’d taken this on slide though! 

40033 is captured coming off Arnside Viaduct on 29th August 1983 with 1K12 10:47 Barrow-In-Furness - Crewe which she worked through to Lancaster before handing over to electric traction. She had earlier worked to Barrow on 2P95 09:20 from Lancaster. 

40033 had previously carried the name “Empress of Britain”. 
Sadly she was finally withdrawn on 01/01/1985 and conveyed to Doncaster works on 25/01/85 where she was eventually cut up by 29/03/85. 
No lying in state for years as some of her sister engines did at Crewe Works! 

I noted that I took this shot on a Petri GX1 camera, which I only had for a couple of years before moving to Canon cameras.
