47804 Hauls 46115 Scots Guardsman Through Bamfurlong! | 16th September 2026

West Coast Railways class 47 locomotive is seen heading south along the west coast main line through Springs Branch on the afternoon of Wednesday 16th September 2026.

The class 47 was dragging steam locomotive LMS Royal Scot Class 46115 Scots Guardsman working a light engine movement from Carnforth to Kidderminster for a spell to work trains at the fabulous Seven Valley Railway. The engine currently carries a British Railways (BR) Brunswick Green livery with a late crest.

The train was running 27 minutes early here having not used the unusual pathing stop at Wigan.

I have linked another shot from a few years ago at Bryn of this engine.
