RJS1977 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Spotted an eastbound tanker train (4-wheel tankers, some of which were V-tankers) passing over Vastern Road bridge yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't see what was pulling it. Any idea where it was going to/from? Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clachnaharry Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sounds like the Theale - Earles cement train, which is normally hauled by a Freightliner 66 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tase Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Forgive my ignorance but how does one find out information regarding these train codes, specifically what train is allocated what code and is there a website that lists all workings for all operators? Apologies if the question appears dumb! T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernman46 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I use Freightlocate for timing info - subscription required but usually pretty up to date Unusual for 6M91 to have PCA's - it's normally the Lafarge bogie wagons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernman46 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Did that get off the ground ? I know there was a whole lot of grumbling about it on wnxx Yes - been using it for a year or so, seem to remember a lot of the grumbling was about it not being "up to the second" or providing loco allocations - both of which are difficult to keep live even with direct access to TRUST. I use it in conjunction with the Yahoo forums and I get what I need mostly. Personal choice obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
