Scattering the Pigeons


66084 rolls down the incline towards Sutton Park old station with a very light load of two wagons from Crewe, destined Croft. These days the freight wagons are likely to be of more interest than the motive power on the front, especially as in this case when one of the much-despised Canadian-built "GM-crop" class 66 "corrugated shed" loco's is at the head of the train, painted in the incredibly drab EWS maroon/yellow.

EWS livery was OK till these 66s came along and spoiled it. Like you say the wagons can be more interesting these days than locos, but even a lot of older hellfire wagons, particularly engineers stock have been withdrawn.
