Due to the service being almost two hours late I was able to get some shots of the 6M10 Peak Forest - Washwood Heath limestone traffic this morning at 0700. Here it is with 60015 at the head, struggling up the bank from Ryecroft to Daw End with it's 27 heavily loaded wagons. Total train weight was over 2,500 tonnes ! Also passing within 10 minutes or so were 66003 on 4M70 freightliner Southampton-Foundry Lane, and 66551 on an up train of ballast empties from Crewe.

The 60 shot is a good un ! Different colour wagons makes a change to the normal freightliner coal hoppers .
You love these sheds, should be pairs of 37s on em all. Imagine the racket on a 2, 500 tonner!
