‘ED’ ON THE MOVE:
First-built Class 73 No. 73001 (the former
No. E6001) has been moved from Locomotive Service’s main base at Crewe to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, and is pictured in the abnormal load bay at Junction 24 of the M1, where it was parked overnight mid-journey. The ‘ED’ was one of two acquired by LSL in early 2019, the other being second-built No. 73002 (ex-E6002).
