A4 Class No. 60009 Union of South Africa is to be
permanently withdrawn when her current mainline
certificate ends in April 2019, so opportunities to see her once more in
full working order have taken on a renewed significance.
At Newark Northgate on 20th December 2017, she
was northbound to York on the East Coast Main Line but not booked to stop. In
the event, she took a breather in platform one giving sufficient time for a few
more photos to add to a collection going back over her many years in
preservation. It was wonderful to see her in BR livery on the old home ground
of the remarkable A4s.
