RMweb Gold 4630 Posted August 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) 16 August 2018 - bought a Lancashire Rover and made good use of it. The signal box here is down to close in Sept 2018 Great set of photos there and really shows how busy the Calder Valley route has become (again) for freight over the past few years. The current closure date that I have for the 'box at Hebden Bridge is the weekend of 20th-21st October 2018 although, as you probably know, it will survive in situ as it's a listed structure. Unfortunately those at Milner Royd Junction, Halifax and Mill Lane Bradford which will close on the same date will not.

RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted August 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Passing Beattock Summit yesterday, I spotted a 66 (I think) in black or Dark Grey with orange lettering/numbers. Could only make out ZA.... A I was driving, I only caught a glimpse, but just curious as to what it was. Time 12 noon, light engine, I assume, in one of the loops. Any info would be appreciated.

Could well be '723. It was only a glimpse as I was driving down the M74, so my attention was more on the road. Thanks for the info, though.

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted August 31, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2018 A busy afternoon at Brighouse on 31st August... Freightliner 66519 passes through with 4E10, Fiddlers Ferry Power Station to York Holgate Sidings, empty coal hoppers. About 250 miles from its namesake, GBRf 66739 Bluebell Railway heads west to Manchester with 6M59, Scunthorpe Roxby Gullet to Collyhurst Street. With a trailing load of stone from North Yorkshire, Freightliner 66602 grinds its way along the Calder Valley with 6Z99, 12.17 Rylstone Tilcon to Bredbury Tilcon. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Louch Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Although very local to me, first visit to this location to see Fareham to Whatley Quarry train this lunchtime. Crampmoor Crossing (single line between Romsey and Eastleigh) is the very rural location! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted September 10, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2018 Laying down an epic trail of stone dust, Freightliner 66603 passes through KIrkstall Forge station on the Airedale Line with 6Z99, 11.45 Rylstone Tilcon to Bredbury Tilcon, loaded aggregate hoppers on 10th September 2018. Followed a short time later in the opposite direction by GBRf 66716 'Locomotive & Carriage Institution Centenary 1911-2011' with 6D72, 11.32 Hull Dairycoates Tilcon to Rylstone Tilcon, empty aggregate hoppers. Lucky with the timing of that one as 333016 was departing with 2P47, 13.30 Bradford Forster Square to Leeds. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
