Large Prairie 4150 Test Runs! | Class 07 D2996 Shuttles Up & Down Bridgnorth Yard + Timetable B!
After unexpectedly discovering 4150 out on proving runs yesterday, I decided to head back today to catch its planned runs between Bridgnorth and Highley.
I started the day at Bridgnorth, where I watched preparations take place before seeing 4150 depart on its journey towards Highley.
Whilst at Bridgnorth, I also saw 7714 after it had arrived in from Kidderminster. The yard itself was a fantastic sight, full of both steam and diesel locomotives.
Amongst them was Class 07 D2996, which was seen making several short runs up and down the yard, potentially carrying out testing of its own.
We also saw 20048 arrive whilst working the diesel turn for the day, adding even more variety to an already busy scene at Bridgnorth.
I then headed over to Hampton Loade to catch 4150 on its return journey. While waiting, we were treated to the booked DMU service for the day, operated by a Class 101 DMU.
4150 then arrived back through Hampton Loade, where it stopped for a decent amount of time to allow the DMU service to pass before continuing its proving run.
Another excellent day on the Severn Valley Railway with plenty of steam, diesel and heritage DMU action all in one visit. It’s fantastic to see 4150 continuing its testing and moving ever closer to a return to traffic. 🚂📸
