Date: 22nd February 1986

Class 109 Trinidad Wickham Port of Spain 22 February 1986. In the early '80s I worked as a Property Manager for British Airways and was sent to all sorts of exotic places. On a visit to Trinidad I came across these two Wickham half coach front ends welded back to back which had been used as a café in one of the outer suburbs of the capital Port of Spain. Along with some others dumped behind the old railway station downtown I reckon at that time there were enough parts surviving from all four coaches E50415, 50419 and E56170, 56174 exported in late 1961 but I am unable to say which ones were which and they almost certainly won't exist now. A letter from me along with this picture was published in Rail Magazine in issue 337, August 12-25 1998. Alistair Ness.
