RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted July 24, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2023 There was plenty of class 66 action at Pulborough last weekend due to engineering works between Horsham and Crawley. Sadly a combination of rotten weather and insanely early running resulted in me missing all but one - the 6G13 19:00 Horsham - Eastleigh East Yard engineering service. Here is 66766 approach the foot crossing at Codmore Hill running 30 minutes early (some of the others were running about 2 hours early!) on Sunday 23rd July. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I've not put anything on the thread for a while, so here's a few from this week, I'll dig back further later on. As usual they're linked from Flickr, so click away if you'd like to see them bigger! First up, seems to be a popular one on the last few posts, we call it 'The King'. 66023, carrying a blue version of the DB Cargo livery to celebrate the coronation of King Charles, sits in the spoil tip at Westbury as one of the remaining FGW blue 166s passes by in the background. The Falcon have had spoil unloaded, and fresh ballast loaded ready to go out to site. DB Cargo's 66012 and 66050 flank GB Railfreight's 66791 in Westbury Down Yard. Both the red 66s are recent repaints, but 66791 still carries the Beacon blue livery it carried when operating as T66404 in Sweden. Up close it is looking very scruffy, with tears in the vinyl and lots of patches in both paint and vinyl. Having arrived on 6F12 from South Wales, 66593 sits in the Down Yard at Westbury atop 20 part loaded autoballasters. It would wait here until working a Mendip service that evening. Quite a busy week for locos, as well as all these I've driven 024 and 952, but didn't get photos of them. The joys of a Network Rail yard, we get all sorts of colourful locos to play with!

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted July 31, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2023 DB Cargo 66094 at Colne Bridge on 29th July 2023 with 6E26, Knowsley Freight Terminal to Wilton EFW Terminal, loaded binliner. On this occasion diverted via the Standedge Tunnel and Huddersfield due to weekend engineering work along the Calder Valley line. Freightliner 66621 also at Colne Bridge on 29th July 2023 working light locomotive as 7E53, Crewe Basford Hall to Leeds Balm Road. I assume that the 66 was poorly, necessitating the slower speed running as a class 7 rather than a class 0. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Been driving 'The King' again today so a good excuse for some more pics on a 66 theme. All linked from Flickr as usual. These are from April and May Maritime blue 66005 'Maritime Intermodal One' waits time in East Depot with 4C90 from Acton to Tytherington. From there, the train would return to Quainton Railhead, via Acton, with another load of stone for HS2 construction. Blue sky and a blue engine, but surprisingly few photographers out today for this one. Seen shortly after arrival with 6C03 from Northolt, 66115 sits quietly as unloading begins at Severnside. The energy from waste centre here incinerates the refuse to generate electricity. My first solo train. 66107 sits in Tytherington ready for departure with 6M78 for Quainton Railhead, via a reversal at Acton. Nice blue sky as dawn begins to break. It's 66s galore at Stoke Gifford. Freightliner's 66509, 66542, 66547 and 66567 sit in the yard awaiting their next turn of duty, while 66107 sits in the Down Loop at Bristol Parkway with 6A12 Tytherington - Quainton Railhead, a train that runs most Saturdays.
