Photo of DEMU Class 205028 3-car unit UK passenger train, looking in a sad state of affairs due to the rundown of British Rail prior to privatisation, standing alongside a near-deserted platform at Eastleigh station, Hampshire.
205028 escaped the death sentence of the scrapyard and is now, unrestored, at the heritage Dartmoor Railway, Devon.
The diesel shunter in the background. to the right of the picture, is 09025 carrying the unofficial name 'Victory'.
The class 09 loco diesel shunter was built at Horwich Works by LYR/LMS/British Railways in 4/1/62.
After years of service, 09025 was finally withdrawn on the 31/8/2005 and is now preserved on the East Kent Railway.
