Summary[edit]

Description
English: 2-6-0 78028 approaches Mill Lane level crossing, Glenfield, with a train from Leicester West Bridge towards Desford Junction on the former Leicester and Swannington Railway, 22/2/64.

This photograph is from the second film through my first camera, an Instamatic 100. I had been hoping to photograph one of the ancient ex-Midland 2F 0-6-0 locomotives, but these had recently been withdrawn to be replaced by two of these Standard 2-6-0s with cut-down cab so that they could travel through Glenfield Tunnel.

Since this was a simple camera and the day was dull the negative is very thin and over the years has become badly scratched. However with the help of a modern scanner and Photoshop a reasonable image has been produced which may be of interest.
Date Taken on 22 February 1964
