76040 is the main subject of this shot taken at Reddish depot in March/April 1981. With no surviving notes available the date is from
the slide mount, and the loco number derived from the fact that a 4 is just visible in the number on the original scan, together with
the unique pattern of rust patches on the yellow front. The latter match other shots of 76040 readily available online. Although 76040
and its neighbour are on an unelectrified siding 040 lasted until the end, which came in July of the same year.
