60085 was seen working the steel train today. It was first spotted heading south from Crossland Station

A short while later it was seen passing behind Milford Sand & Cement, then on approach to Gloucester Road

Having passed through the station. It passed above the container terminal and around the curve, carried over the main road in front of the high rise buildings and on its way south.

After chasing 60085 through Gloucester Road yesterday, I headed down to the Kings Arms. While having some refreshment I heard the rumble of a class 60. 60085 was rumbling along the canal.

Clearly the cyclist are not interested.

57602 suffered from split gears. So took the bogie apart and rectified the problem. While apart I started to weather the bogie, dullcote, powders and daps of paint. Already looking better.

Having pulled past 57602, 60085 pulled into the oil refinery sidings. IN order to do that 57309 was passed in the headshunt

Then 60085 pulled past me, where I got a grainy closup

It then coupled up to the TEA tankers in the siding.

I was able to run up the hill and caught 57602 waiting to set off from Crossland Station
