Class 117 DMU at Cape Road, Warwick

×

Details

The roadbridge at Cape Road, Warwick was a good shot for southbound (up) trains in the morning. I stopped here on 8 February 1994 despite it being a cold and misty morning for a shot of 117213 (51382 + 51339) working the 10.12 Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa train as it slowed for Warwick station.

The change of gradient behind the train is obvious in this image and marks the start of the 1/110 climb to Hatton. In steam days a banker or two would have been ready for work in a bay at Warwick station to give northbound freights a shove to Hatton station where they would drop off, cross onto the up line and return southwards.
