Smokin' sheds



Seen at Streetly Gate foot crossing on Saturday afternoon was the EWS freightliner working, 4Z02 from Foundry Lane - Washwood Heath behind loco 66181 (the "shed" returned light loco to Bescot a while later), and then the return Wolverhampton Steel empties (6E79) to Scunthorpe behind 66136. At least a bit of exhaust clag lends a touch of drama to these otherwise characterless machines, and the driver of 66181 deafened me
and disturbed the select neighbourhood 
with a triple horn sounding ! These are the last timetabled freights across the Sutton Park line at the weekend...
