1968. D83 at the head of 8X53 0500 Heaton - Coatbridge conveying withdrawn NER Tyneside electric EMU's on their final journey on 06/02/1968. Looking like a standard BR blue liveried loco, the lack of BR emblem, plus the numbers on the cabsides gives away that it is a "Toton Blue" loco, albeit with full yellow ends, the only loco to carry this particular colour scheme.
