mikeyh Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Attended a work do in Cardiff last night - was pleased to find the Radisson Blu hotel is right by the railway and our room had a great view of the approaches to Central station. Mostly Arriva Trains Wales Pacers and Sprinters of course but quite a few 66s as well so managed to snap a few.. First photo from the hotel isn't great as the window doesn't open and was a bit grubby but shows what a great view it is. 66 197 heads down the bank from Queen Street station with 10.39 Cwmbargoed Opencast to Port Talbot loaded coal hoppers. 14.10.16 I managed to sneak off for an hour to the station - Platform 0 has open access and gives a good view of the west end of the station. 66 176 on 09.30 Dee Marsh Reception Sidings to Margam steel wagons. 14.10.16 A bit later Freightliner 66 564 passed through light engine as 16.00 Aberthaw Power Station to Stoke Gifford. 14.10.16 Cheers, Mike Edited October 15, 2016 by mikeyh 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie!! Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I too caught the same working as Russ (4630) as above, but caught the pair of 66s up/down the line at Deighton station. Just as I was photographing the pair a 185 unit sped past the opposite direction, kinda made me jump. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Complete surprise on 4M00 Mossend-Clitheroe as it's a solid DB Cargo working. Apparently there was a loco shortage north of the border. Coinciding with my lunch break! 66733 "Cambridge PSB" drawing forward at Horrocksford Junction to reverse back onto the up line before going forward again into Clitheroe Cement Works (not the best angle in bright sunlight) However, the side on sunshine let me get this weathering reference pic as it proceeds into the works. It later passed my house on the return loaded 6S00 to Mossend. (and if anyone comments on a GB loco hauling Castle Cement tankers on my layout...........................)

rob D2 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Another of my terrible gritty urban shed photos...from my car... 66024 sits on the transfer bridges at Swindon , with 2 BYAs in tow, stationary. This is where it often sits for hours when doing the steel train from Wales ( which becomes mini body panels ). I didn't hang around long, it's not the nicest neibourhood........ Just after this 66955 passed eastbound with a freightliner. I also noticed the scrap train was in half a mile away at EMR, So that's as good as gets for scheduled freight to Swindon ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
