Powerhaul 70 Pey Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Good evening everyone. Following a couple of hours at Warrington Bank Quay this afternoon to see the late running Daventry to Coatbridge Freightliner and the Colas Rail Carlisle to Chirk logs I noticed that Dallam Freight Terminal in Warrington is being used as a virtual quarry at the moment and has had a few DB Schenker hauled stone trains to here from Peak Forest. There was a STP working on todays time table for a working but it was cancelled. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/WBQ/2016/03/30/0600-2000?stp=WVS&show=freight&order=wtt http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R73488/2016/03/30/advanced I did hear a rumour when out and about that the stone is being stock piled at Dallam for use on a local road construction project. Does anyone have any information on this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
87023Velocity Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Its nice to see sidings been brought back into use again for freight. Local road projects that I can think of are the road and bridge works around Runcorn & Widnes for the new bridge crossing and also the A556 Dual Carriageway linking the M6 Junc 19 to M56 Junc 7, there may be others.

Powerhaul 70 Pey Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 On a wet and windy Wednesday night (6th April) at 21:49 DB Cargo Class 60, 60059 is shunting wagons at Dallam in Warrington whilst they are unloaded. Dallam freight terminal is currently being used as a virtual quarry. Had a go at a night time shot with a 4 second shutter speed trying to keep the camera as still as possible.
