Rusting hulk
Photo Information
This week's competition is decay - and this is one of my attempts at the subject.
This Class 9F locomotive No. 92219 is the second last steam loco to be built by British Rail, back in 1960. It had a working life of just five years instead of the 40 years it was designed for because of the policy to build diesel and electric locos instead.
It has been standing as a rusting hulk at a heritage rail centre in Derbyshire for many years. The 9F is now to be restored at Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria.
This is one my earliest digital photos, taken on an Ist DS with standard kit lens in 2006.
