Coach bogie Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I was at Northallerton at daybreak seeing my wife off. There was a distant roar and out of the mist came 60040 on oil tanks for Jarrow. What a sight and sound. Mike Wiltshire 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 4630 Posted March 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Exactly 16 years ago - a snapshot of class 60s at Barnetby on 30th March 2004. EWS 60048 'Eastern' - the loco is currently stored in Toton Yard. EWS 60070 'John Loudon McAdam' in original as built BR livery but still adorned with branding from the short-lived Loadhaul operator. The loco is currently stored at Toton. Both appear to be on iron ore workings to Scunthorpe that run between Immingham Ore Terminal and Santon Foreign Ore Terminal.

Thought that looked familiar, taken the same day as a shot in the 56 thread, I was there too. Anyway, how about a Tug race?.... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on private land next to a yard, in a 2l Mondeo estate which was no slouch, I managed to pull away at 40mph but then ran out of road.... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack374 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Contender for working of the year...or last 5 as there hasn’t been a Tug in East Anglia for 5 years according to the photographer: (Flickr link) Jack. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 A few recent ones from me, all can be clicked to go to the Flickr site. First up, the weekend before lockdown. A shot I nearly didn't bother going out for, but glad I took the opportunity to get out of the house! Stayed local, 10 mins from home. Saturday Tug by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr 60054 thuds past Winterbourne on the approach to Bristol Parkway working 6B33 Theale - Margam. Several Touax TDAs fresh off maintenance stand out at the front of the train This week, DCR are running out of Westbury again. Tug 55 the chosen machine, here's a trio of shots of it at Westbury from various angles during loading. Double quick loading (DCR 60, part 1) by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr DC Rail Freight's 60055 'Thomas Barnardo' sits in Westbury's New Sidings as the wagons behind it are loaded with Type 1 aggregate, made from recycled ballast and spoil from railway work sites. Two machines make it double quick work, and it would soon be time to take the first nine wagons out and put the second half in. Once all eighteen wagons were loaded, the train would depart for Bevois Park in Southampton as 6Z91 from Westbury. Dinner break (DCR 60, part 2) by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr With the first half of the train loaded and the second set of empties placed for filling, DC Rail Freight's 60055 'Thomas Barnardo' sits in Westbury's New Sidings during the lull whilst the Network Rail staff finish their lunch. This train takes Type 1 aggregate, made from recycled ballast and spoil from railway work sites to Bevois Park in Southampton as 6Z91 from Westbury. Southampton bound Tug 55 (DCR 60, part 3) by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr DC Rail Freight's 60055 'Thomas Barnardo' sits in Westbury's New Sidings as the wagons behind it are loaded with Type 1 aggregate, made from recycled ballast and spoil from railway work sites. This would depart for Bevois Park in Southampton as 6Z91 from Westbury. Hopefully this insight helps people scratch the itch whilst we're in lockdown, I know I'm in a fortunate position to be able to record these events. Just a shame I left the proper camera at home!

RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted April 16, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 16, 2020 Rather unusual (although someone may correct me) to see a Loco stabled in Reading Stn during the day but DB Class 60 60054 was recently stabled in Platform 3. The train describer was showing 0A11 (Light Engine from the Robeston - Theale tanks), this would normally remain at Theale for the return working to South Wales.

DB Class 60 60054 @ Reading Station 08/04/20 Very interesting! Admittedly I’m talking about over twenty years ago now but this used to be standard practice. The (Margam?) driver that berthed the train at Theale each morning would then bring the loco (or pair of 37s before the 60s took over) up to Reading’s platform 3 and then travel home on the cushions. The driver for the empties would arrive at Reading around lunchtime to take the loco back to Theale. Apart from a couple of parcels workings in the afternoon and evening, it was about the only thing that used platform three. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 On my daily government approved walk from home, GBRf 60021 'Penyghent' is at Newsham, Northumberland with today's 6N87 Lynemouth Power Station - Port of Tyne biomass empties. This loco caught fire about 6 months ago a few miles north at Bedlington. Good to see 60021 back on the Blyth & Tyne. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach bogie Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) OOPS!, The stock behind 66 737 was so loud, I did not hear 60026 until I panned around. Rounton Gates 24.6.20 60087 on the same stock a couple of days later. 60040 really struggling with a Skinningrove to Humberside steel running very late.
