eastwestdivide Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Retford, June 1983, doing what they were designed for, power station coal. I do recall being impressed by the driving skills as the loaded trains came through the dip under the ECML - must be a tricky location to avoid snatching at the couplings. Any drivers care to comment? 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
