Type 2 diesel electric No. D5227 in the late afternoon sunshine at Gloucester Horton Road MPD on 28th November 1969. New from Darlington Works in September 1963 and initially allocated to Toton (18A), it became Class 25 No. 25077 under TOPS in 1973. The loco was withdrawn from service in May 1978 and cut up at St Rollox Works, Glasgow, during September of that year. The gas holder in the background is now also a part of history, with demolition currently taking place during October 2013.
