The
Sulzer engined class 25's were based just about everywhere at some point, bar the
southern region, during their careers. These type 2's were a mixed
traffic engine, and were just as common working in pairs as they were
singularly. The 25's finished their days on the midland region with the
remaining members of the class withdrawn in 1987. |
