Freights passing



Seen kicking up the snow at Streetly on the 5th February was 66162 heading Bescot-wards with 7G24 from Washwood Heath CMX concrete sleeper depot just moments after Cotswold Rail's 47810 "Captain Sensible" headed east on the up with a train of empty freightliner flats running from Crewe to Long Marston. This train carried the nameboard "Gloucester Globetrotters". Not often you see a named freight these days (bring back the "Condor" etc etc...).
