About the photograph.
This is one of the passengers, possibility wearing a 1940s style outfit as many other visitors did so, peeking out the the door as the train was leaving. He is seen taking photos on his mobile phone.
The train was being pulled by the British Rail Class 42 Warship serial number D821 and named Greyhound. The train, built in 1960, was named after a Royal Navy warship called HMS Greyhound, a destroyer that sunk in 1941.
The Class 42 was built between 1958 to 1961, at British Railway’s Swindon Works, and a total of 38 were produced. The Greyhound got two Maybach 1,135 hp engines, even thought it was a German manufacturer, the engines were made by Bristol Siddeley under licence.
The loco could hold about 3,600 litres of diesel fuel, no mention of what the maximum range would be, as they weren’t designed for long-distance non-stop runs, but the engines could give it a maximum speed of up to 90 mph.
They were then withdrawn from services around 1968 to 1972.
A railway preservation organisation called Diesel Traction Group were planning to buy a Class 22 but before they could get it, it was accidently scrapped, so British Railways offered a choice from the three remaining Warship locos, so the Diesel Traction Group bought series number D821 for preservation.
The photo was taken from a footbridge at Highley Station, and looking towards south.
