Although not in rail blue livery, this shot has to be included in the Class 47 section if only for its historical significance. 47 367 was the very last of the class to retain the two-tone original green livery and is pictured here in 1976 propelling the empty coaching stock for a Clacton 'Awayday' excursion into Manchester Piccadilly station. Also of interest is the use of '0' number vinyl's for the temporary redundant '0000' headcode display (at one end only). The locomotive today enjoys preserved status, owned by the Stratford 47 Group and based at the North Norfolk Railway.
