"Union of South Africa" heads South again - Dorset Coast Express, 9/8/18

In yet another excursion to the south for 60009, the loco took charge of the Dorset Coast Express from London Victoria to Weymouth. Heavily assisted by a class 47 behind the loco, the 9-coach train is seen pausing for a water stop at Brookwood, with a simply awesome sky as the backdrop.

Awesome departure. Love it when the diesel is in the second slot. Engineer in the 47 had the best seat in the house. Thanks for posting!

Thanks again Trav! I disagree on the diesel though!
