Alternate versions of Ryans photos - taken at Diss

 

66738, Huddersfield Town, on 6T67, 14:00, Brundall - Whitemoor Yard L.D.C GBRF (17:30)

(yes, it's slightly blurred, that's what happens when you turn the shutter speed down to photograph a 90 nameplate and forget to turn it back up!)

The signal is not out, it's the phasing which is out

Didn't get chance to see it. If I had, I would've been photting the crane behind it!

 

Cheers,

Mick

Yes, I was a little annoyed too. Unfortunately it caught me unawares, despite RealtimeTrains - wrong position and lens choice. I had been well placed at the other end of platform 3 earlier too, which would have been a perfect position to include the crane. XX

66145 approaches Pulborough with the 668Y (1N04?) 13:54 Eastleigh to Three Bridges working. It was running about 75 minutes late at this point.

Rekinding memories of when this was a regular (daily) service; but substitute the 66 for a pair of 73s!

Did you catch the track machine running about 20 minutes ahead of this train? It was transferring from Barnham (presumably following engineers work in that area) back to Three Bridges depot.

After the Freightliner route training trips over the previous few weeks from Leeds Balm Road, along the Calder Valley via Hebden Bridge and on to Fiddlers Ferry Power Station, the green team got to grips with the first loaded working today.

 

Checked at Bradley Wood Junction by the preceding stopper from Huddersfield to Leeds via Bradford Interchange, 66617 grinds round the curves and the up grade towards Brighouse with the 2,400 tons of loaded HHA bogie coal hoppers of 6M09, 0545 Immingham Import Terminal to Fiddlers Ferry Power Station. 

 

I can't recall the last time I saw a loaded coal train along the Calder Valley.  Certainly a few years ago.
