66.849 Ferryside 25Apr17 (66.512 out of sight on rear). 6Y55 Whitland-Westbury engineer's working. Camera is straight, signal FS21 is leaning.

Not sure if it is a trick of the light, or perhaps the photo "processing", but it looks like there is no red aspect in the spectacle on FS21.

 

Regards, Ian.

There is red there but it's not particularly visible in any kind of light eg it's just about visible around the edge at 10/11/12 o'clock here:

Thanks. probably just the angle of shot and reflections of the sky making it difficult to see the red aspect clearly.

 

Regards, Ian.

Winter must be coming as the 'top-up' coal runs to Fiddlers Ferry Power Station from Redcar via the Calder Valley have recommenced today.

 

With a 'timed load' of 2,200 tons, Freightliner 66546 approaches Brighouse on 1st October 2018 with 6M17, 08.53 Redcar High Level to Fiddlers Ferry.

It's showing in the schedule as a 'STP' (Short Term Plan) Monday to Friday for this week, but if it follows the pattern set previously it'll continue to run most weeks for awhile.

The returning empties, 4E17, runs overnight.

Complete with europhoenix 37901 in front

Apologies, slightly off topic.

 

Has 37901 still got it's trial Mirlees engine, or has it now been replaced with a standard class 37 power unit?

 

Great pic Jim thanks.

With the Calder Valley route closed for a 72 hour engineering blockade as per my posts here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/138565-re-signalling-and-re-control-of-the-calder-valley-20th-22nd-october-2018/&do=findComment&comment=3340962, all freight scheduled over the line on 20th & 21st October was cancelled.  Freight scheduled for 22nd October was instead routed via Standedge Tunnel, resulting in rare day time freight on the Huddersfield line.

Paid another visit to Todmorden yesterday. This time there wasn't a lot running - however I managed to catch one of the Drax biomass trains.

66705 heads the 4M37 09:22 Drax Aes to Liverpool Biomass Terminal.

 

Annoyingly, the front of the loco was a little blurred and I didn't get the light quite right - it was running 8 minutes early at this point, so I didn't have any time to set myself up properly.

Crikey, Peak Forest looks a bit 'fresh' yesterday morning! Many thanks for posting; have never made it to this location - on the list though!!

Couple from Eastleigh on Friday; saw a number of locos actually going on shed - something I haven't seen for a while...

When I lived at Waterlooville and my mate George T of this Parish lived at Gosport, Eastleigh and Soton Maritime were two of our favourite haunts of an evening.

 

Great pics, thanks for stirring up some great memories.

 

Some of mine from years ago,
