Class 66 photos

A couple from a quick visit to Barnetby on 6th July 2015 as I was in the area.

 

66188 rumbles through Barnetby with 6T23, 0955 Immingham Ore Terminal to Santon FOT.

 

 

66204 passes Barnetby East 'box with 6C75, 1033 Immingham Bulk Terminal to Scunthorpe BSC.

 

 

Progress with the North Lincolnshire resignalling project is becoming more evident, so views with the semaphores at this location will become history from December 2015.

66704, Colchester Power Signalbox, on 6P41, 09:57, Harwich Refinery CRLS SLVS - North Walsham GBRF (12:48) - empty condensate tanks

The tanks are apparently going to Walsham to be used as storage during some site engineering works, and are going to stay there for a week or so, hence the longer rake.

 

The tree has also been tidied, I complained to two NR guys who were in the area, pointing out the reduce visibility to crossing users.

Very happy to see this! 

 

66711, sporting its new name 'Sense' (having been unveiled by GB's managing director and the MD of aggregates industries a few days ago) heading out on 6G64 LBT - to Ironbridge this morning!

I had been out Friday and Saturday to catch this loco and had Camera problems both times but this evening was third time lucky as I caught 66720 working 6V80 West Burton - Portbury Gypsum at Sutton Parkway on the Robin Hood line. The train was running 10 early which gave me time to make it over to the ECML and catch 47812.

On 12 July 2015 GBRF ran a charity train from Ipswich - Eastleigh, traversing various branches in the Anglian area (big clap for GBRF for doing so)

66116 Wymondham 13/07/15 - 6L39 0637 Mountsorrel Sdgs to Trowse Yard Redland Siding

 

And - for reasons not known - here's the same train returning to Mountsorrel a couple of hours later - not enough time to do anything other than run round at Trowse.

In evening sunshine 66019 leads 66158 on 6M30, 16:45 Doncaster Europort to Arpley Sidings empty car flats, at Bradley Junction Huddersfield.

 

If I'd known it was going to be double headed I'd have set off earlier to take the photo at Mirfield to get a better framed shot from a less elevated position.  Ah well.

Two frequent visitors to Eastleigh in recent weeks, seen last Monday, 13/07/15.

 

This Good ol' boy seems to like the Deep South but is often stabled behind others. Even in this shot the pesky yard lamp is in the way.

Coupled to it was a railway visionary.

I've also got photos from the past two weeks at Eastleigh with GBRf 66s stabled there along with the shanks one. I'll upload them tomorrow if I find time.

All the best,

Lloyd

66761, moving a loco convoy at Barrow Hill.

Having dropped D6757 at the depot, 5580 was going to Butterley, and 56098 was going to Leicester.

 

Cheers,

Phil.

A day off for me today so I used it wisely to go spotting around my local areas.

 

First train was DBS class 66 working from arpley sidings to Doncaster europort. I was wondering if anyone could help me though as I tried to get the number of the loco the same time as taking the photo but both kinda failed as I didn't get a very clear photo and also didn't get the number but looking at the photo I can't make out of its 66074 or 66024?

 

Later on in the day I managed to catch a light loco working from Crewe to Leeds at 1810. I was really happy though first time seeing freightliner 66522 also had 66529 behind.
