Lord Nelson leaves Eastleigh.

[trains2]

30850 'Lord Nelson' left Eastleigh today hauled by 66138 as 7Z50 to the West Somerset Railway for running in. This is believed to be the last rail move out of Eastleigh works, and the station and local bridges were packed with enthusiasts (and BBC South Today) trying to get a pic of this historic move.
