RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted September 12, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hastily grabbed shot of 70816 lurking in the wildlife at Acton. Taken from a flying cucumber at speed, with about 5s warning, so apologies for the poor quality. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think the location is actually Southall- can anyone confirm? won’t be 818, they only go up to 817 The train is coming off the greenford line between Drayton green and hanwell, the building behind is the plasser facility situated in triangle, in fact the bogies in the foreground are visible in google maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/A7UxAZhvYbtkUJJA8?g_st=ic Its possibly working within a possession when you photographed it as real time trains shows a 6C20 Westbury to south greenford that came in via the GWML and the train in the pic is heading the opposite way so it’s likely the driver has changed ends and has worked back toward hanwell as there is also a 6Z21 acton to Westbury showing leaving later in the day, unfortunately it doesn’t show loco numbers Edited September 16, 2022 by big jim 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 08221 Posted September 22, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2022 The 1050 Longport to Redcar Colas freight seems to get cancelled more than it runs these days so I was glad I turned out to see it this morning - 70817 at its head as it approaches Bamford bridge in Uttoxeter. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Colas ballasts round here are Charlies, so could be 6C20. Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo found the same pic on flickr dated the 10th so that rules out 816 as it was on the north bound leeds cement emptys. this week's Scottish locos were 816/809 Dunbar 803 Carlisle logs 811 Ravenstruther ballast/Dalston 815 silver bullets 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Bit of a cock up when I was relieving 4M95 at Nuneaton a few weeks ago, my booked job was cancelled so I was purloined by Intermodal to cover one of their Crewe diagrams, unfortunately the return working turned up with a 70 on it and since I'm still waiting for a refresher on them I couldn't take it. We sat in the platform until a Lawley Street man arrived on an up service and was able to take it forward to Crewe, I still travelled with it though as I had to pick up the staff van at Basford Hall... Another ordinary day on the big railway! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
