Two unidentified Sulzer Type 4 locomotives running 'light engine' approach Bromford Bridge's horse dock

Two unidentified Sulzer Type 4 locomotives running 'light engine' approach Bromford Bridge's horse dock. When initially put into service, the locomotives were fitted with multi-unit working and steam-heating boilers for passenger service. In the early 1970s, fifty were fitted with electric train supply in place of their steam-heating boilers and assigned to work services on the Midland Main Line from London St Pancras to Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield. These locomotives were renumbered under TOPS as a sub class being categorised as Class 45/1 locomotives.
