Edited to correct epic fail with loco number.  The above is clearly NOT 66001........

I'm on your picture, I'm looking back at the 60 - photographing it "going away" and all the tanks :bye_mini: - alongside the green aspect, I was the fool person with only a t-shirt on, no jacket.

 

And I've just noticed this post. I remember you, we must have been stood near to each other on the bridge! I was the geezer with the long hair.

Snap!

 

There'd been a few days of spotting beforehand, so here's the rest of the Class 60's we got.

Not as clear as I would really like but the light isn't being kind to me this year and being the wrong side of 21st June it's not going to get any better, however approaching Willaston Crossing (Near Crewe) just past 21:00 tonight is 60085 on the 15:24 Baglan Bay - Chrik logs. I should have perhaps just upped the ISO a tad more, the shot I got about 0.5 seconds earlier is a bit clearer but a little too far away with my 50mm lens combined with the good speed the 60 seemed to be making. Very fine line dusk photography isn't it!!!!! Loco and livery still look fab though don't they........

60010 on a steel working to Margam - yes, to Margam even though it is loaded......

60100 working empty tanks back to Murco Robeston.

 

 

Hope these are of interest, even if they are 5 months late!

 

Cheers

Now you see it, now you don't, and lucky with the shutter release timing, especially on my phone.

An afternoon working back to the Peak District quarries passes the site of Rotherham Road station and the foot of the Low Stubbin incline (further bridge), earlier this year.
