Now then, why is there a restricted height clearance for this cantilever? :Confused:

That engine looks to be a CEFX engine.

The line looks to be abandoned anyways.
The line is the Hull–Chelsea–Wakefield Railway. It hasn't operated since 2011 because of a washout.

Actually, they're interlocking, operated by a wheel in this signal box.

Those gates lasted until 1992, BTW.

I think that's a GP20D as well, which I was lucky enough to see trailing on NS A81 last year. Though the one I saw was CEFX 2012.
They/Them for me, please.
