Part 1 (January - April)

33030 has just run round its train at Crewe after arriving with what I believe was 1M70 0740 ex-Cardiff Central. After shunting across to the bay platforms, the formation would return back south at 1325 as 1V05 (05/01/1984)

I've no idea why I chose this particular moment to release the shutter! 45053 is the Peak on the right of the photo, but the other locos are awaiting identification in this view iduring an organised tour of Crewe Works (05/01/1984)

27030 is pictured in the yard at Appleby with a short rake of ballast wagons. This was the only occasion I can recall seeing one of these machines south of Carlisle, and although the quality's not great, it's the best I could do from a moving train with very little notice (26/04/1984)
