Rugd1022 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Bit of a request gents - on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week (the 10th and 11th) a colleague and I worked two trains of scrap wagons from Crewe to Long Marston as 6Z65, going back light engine as 0Z65, I don't suppose any of you have any photos please...? The railway grapevine must have been alive and well as there were a lot of snappers about on both days, particularly between Worcester and Long Marston. My mate brought it down from Crewe, picked me up at Landor Street then I drove to down to Long Marston and back up to Brum again. If anyone has anything and fancies posting here I'd be most grateful!

Jamesb Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Not been on here for a while, so time to make amends. 66 054 at Strand Road crossing with the Liverpool bulk terminal behind. Just arrived light engine from Arpley to bring the scrap empties out of the EMR sidings. 66 138 on 6M88, Middleton towers - Ince and Elton sand. On this particular day, the ground staff rostered to the job had gone sick 24 hours earlier and no replacement was available. I sat at West Cheshire Jnc for nearly three hours before someone turned up! And to add insult to injury, the conveyor belts in the unloading plant were clogged solid with sand from the last train. The ground staff member and I, assisted by a staff member from the works itself, found three shovels and dug the compacted sand out before I could start unloading.. There is a 66 in this one, honest! Arpley sidings with a 66 lurking outside the shed. Edited January 21, 2017 by Jamesb 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted February 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Almost twelve years ago to the day - 11th February 2005 and Freightliner 66557 eases on to the Up Pontefract at Milford Junction with loaded bogie coal hoppers, probably destined for the Aire Valley power stations at either Eggborough or Drax (it's taking the wrong route to directly access Ferrybridge PS). Followed a few minutes later by EWS 66179 departing Milford West Sidings and crossing to take the Up Normanton with empty HAA wagons. Much has changed at this location on the railway in the last 12 years; bio mass trains to Drax have mostly supplanted the frequent coal workings to the power stations in the area. All the HAA wagons have now left revenue earning use. EWS has gone through a change of ownership and (several) rebranding. Much is still the same; the track layout at Milford Junction with its signal box is unchanged and Freightliner locomotives are still painted green, albeit with a different owner. Class 66s continue to do the job for which they were bought. Edited to add second photo. Edited February 10, 2017 by 4630 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 That pic shows the variation in DB logos between 66055 and 66066 and all the other large logo locos nicely. Also, the ones that have the version with red DB letters, there seems to be two versions, one looks correct and the other looks like a rip off. I think it's the lettering being too small. 66150 is one of the ones that doesn't look right, compare it to 149 here https://www.flickr.com/photos/alan673/32952142722/in/photolist-ScSkZL-ScSm1C-Skh1PW-S5JG9F-R2NU1X-RFaxkm-REtwkL-QXhjL5-QXhW6U-S3R7aX-S3PBjn-S2tsUJ-RBbJKY-RMKroD-QJFM4g-RMjWEJ-Sn6bRZ-SkqdXM-QZS9TD-RwNBu5-QPUcZ1-RaXzqy-QvDGJN-Rg9s97-RejbyG-QfQgxH-RGJJrU-RytF5M-RaDaUE-RFyd5C-RybYq2-RvumsJ-RFpGwq-RFpG3Q-RFpHKh-RG6ssn-Q96KF8-Q658Ys-Q6rc5A-RgbnL9-QDK4Zb-QDK4Z1-R24qKt-RdzxN4-QrsHm1-Q5EGrn-NFgnsv-NE3hxJ-PraK5z-NoBwPt Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 9, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2017 07 March 2017 Bryants Bridge (Snetterton/Eccles Road) 66044 on 6L39, 06:37, Mountsorrel Sdgs - Trowse Yard Redland Siding (11:51) - loaded stone (20 blue JNA) Unfortunately the bacon butty moved from a perfect train watching pose to snuffling just as I took this (and I was on tip toes stretching over the bridge so couldn't easily adjust) The rough patch on the bank just in front of the loco is roughly where a signal box is shown on a 1900 map, but I can't find any mention of it in the GER appendices for the 1890's - so it either appeared after then, was a mistake on the map, or was already shut. To the left of the running lines a siding is also shown on the same map, there's enough room so looks like the siding/box did exist at one time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
