Steadfast Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Here's a few recent class 60 shots from my site. They're taken from here http://joalder.smugmug.com/Recent-Additions/i-RwJmSCK It's a shame we don't seem to get 60s around Westbury any longer, though the Murco workings and some South Wales steels are still solid bets for class 60 haulage 60001 crawls past East Usk Yard, Newport working 6B67 Margam - Llanwern with a mix of covered and open steel carriers 8/3/14 60059 approaches East Usk Yard, Newport working 6B33 Theale - Margam, running around 2 hours early 8/3/14 60039 approaches Wickwar tunnel working 6E41 Westerleigh - Lindsey 28/3/14 60020 arrives at Yate with a diverted 6B13 Robeston - Westerleigh.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted April 28, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2014 I was in South Wales last week and saw 60039 working the 29 wagon long Westerleigh tanks most days in one direction or the other. It made a fabulous and very impressive sight. We first saw it looped at Hereford Monday morning heading south, then heading east through Newport Tuesday morning, West through Cardiff Wednersday evening and East through Newport again on Thursday morning.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted May 4, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yesterday morning we were changing trains at Newport. Luckily the Robeston to Waesterleigh tank train was due through. An added surprise was the class 66 on the back. Have not seen this before on this train. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yesterday morning we were changing trains at Newport. Luckily the Robeston to Waesterleigh tank train was due through. An added surprise was the class 66 on the back. Have not seen this before on this train. This happens when for whatever reason the train cannot go via Gloucester and has to reverse to access the Westerleigh branch. It happened a few weeks ago when there was engineering work between Gloucester and Yate. The train was booked onto the Tytherington branch to reverse, but instead used the down platform at Yate, since no other trains were running it didn't matter that it blocked the line for 10 minutes or so. This wasn't the shot I had in mind, but hey-ho! 60020 arrives at Yate with a diverted 6B13 Robeston - Westerleigh. Engineering work south of Gloucester had closed the usual route, so a reversal here was required. Instead of using the Tytherington branch as booked, the train reversed in the platform 5/4/14 I daren't put a photo of a 66 on this thread, but the whole reversal can be seen on here http://joalder.smugmug.com/Trains/Days-Out-2014/Yate-Patchway-and-Pilning-5414/i-7CHDH3P jo 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The loops in Yate yard are only about 22 chains long over the fouling points and I reckon the train will not fit for a run round. The branch has a temporary stopblock at the 30ch marker and is now effectively closed up to the quarry at Tytherington. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The branch has a temporary stopblock at the 30ch marker and is now effectively closed up to the quarry at Tytherington. Assuming that each of the 29 bogie tanks are 70' long I make that about 30 chains. So obvioulsy no chance of the loops. Is the 66 also needed for banking out of the Severn Tunnel due to the load and gradient. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The day I photographed the diverted working it only had 24 tanks in tow. The 66 on the rear was dead, so the 60 worked single handed all the way jo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
