A 43301 – 43389 are seen working 1V50 Edinburgh – Plymouth CrossCountry Train through Meadowhall Interchange. Meadowhall is located to the right in the image and the train is heading towards Sheffield. I personally think this is a brilliant shot, kudos to the photographer.

Train Information

The British Rail Class 43 is the TOPS classification used for the InterCity 125 High Speed Train power cars, built by BREL from 1976 to 1982. The class is the fastest diesel unit in the world, with an absolute maximum of 148 mph (238 km/h), and 125 mph (201 km/h) regular service speed, although there are claims that this diesel rail speed record has been broken twice unofficially: by Russian (168 mph, 1992) and Spanish (159 mph, 2002-07-09) trains.
