Description
In today's video, we have DRS Class 57, 57301 "Goliath" drags 317342 through a sunny Bamurlong on the afternoon of Tuesday 14th April 2020. Class 317 was heading back to Ilford after undergoing accessibility modifications up in Kilmarnock. The use of the DRS locomotive was a bit of a surprise as Rail Operations Group have been using their own selection of locomotives. I have filmed many drag moves so a 57 makes a nice change and thanks to the driver for the friendly tones much appreciated.
