EWS Class 67 Diesel Locomotives, Norwich, Norfolk, UK, 2000

This was an Anglia Intercity arrival, I think, into Norwich Thorpe Street in the Fall of 2000, and one of my first close photos of English, Welsh, & Scottish Class 67 diesels. If the chassis of it looks vaguely F59PHI to you, that would be close. It is a GMLG locomotive, but its capabilities are far beyond anything GM builds for the U.S. market. 125 m.p.h. is an easy job for these locomotives, although being mostly assigned to mail, fast freight, and excursion trains they in reality rarely exceed 100.

Here's my second Class 66 shot, even more desperate than the first, but actually better in some ways.

If anyone can help me with the location of this and the next shot, I would be grateful. I didn't note the location, but took the shot because I wasn't sure if I had any shots of BGRf Class 66 freight diesels yet. In any case, here's a wild shot taken out of the side of my Intercity 225 going 125 m.p.h., or something close to that, on the way to Peterborough.
