A brief colour archive clip showing a SR Type HA/BR Class 71 electric locomotive hauling a latter day down Golden Arrow service past Folkestone Warren.
You can see why they decided to put yellow fronts on trains in the UK after the demise of steam. You could hardly see that loco until it was right on top of the platelayer!
Nice video and I remember Folkeston Warren very well. I collected fossils while watching the trains there. BUT, Oh dear! - the Golden Arrow just doesn't look right without a Bulleid Pacific at the head.
