31313 drifts through Loughborough light engine, 25th February 1982.
Locomotive History
31313 was built by Brush in the adjacent Falcon Works at Loughborough as D5847, entering traffic in June 1962, allocated to Darnall MPD. During November 1967 D5847 was released from Doncaster works following classified repair during which its unreliable Mirrlees JVS12T 1250bhp engine was replaced by a 1470bhp English Electric 12SVT engine. 31313 was an early Class 31 casualty being withdrawn and broken up immediately at Doncaster Works in May 1983, just over a year after this photograph was taken.
