Steadfast Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 With bulk ballast workings, if there's coalfish tagged on it's usually for loading with gravel for drainage works in the forthcoming weekend. Our bulky runs with mussels, but can have some replaced with coalfish as required. The train the coalfish go out on at the weekend may often also have some Bass (OBA/OCA) loaded with piping etc Jo 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree,great pic,I saw 70804 passing through Chatburn while waiting for the logs which passed Settle 9 mins early but ended up being over 2 hours late by the time it reached Hellifield,I hung around for a while but had to get off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted August 1, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 1, 2019 Second day in a row for Colas 70816 working 6E32, 10.07 Colas Ribble Rail to Lindsey Oil Refinery and as the camera was already out of the bag as it approached Brighouse it would have been rude to have forgone the opportunity. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted September 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2019 I read on wnxx.com today that 70007 was out on traction training between Toton and Earles (Hope) for the start of Class 70 workings out of Tunstead. I’m hoping that Freightliner start pulling Class 70’s out storage and into revenue service. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
