This superb photo shows the loco at work back in the halcyon days of 1988, where British-built locos were common place. 47449 is seen hustling a southbound freight that looks very much like a speedlink grain train through Dawlish Warren.  Note the loco is sporting a very shiny looking NRN aerial on the cab roof, which has presumably not long been fitted. The date is 16th of July 1988 – good times!

Thanks to Adrian for allowing us to reproduce the image and for David Dawson for tracking it down.
