Barry Needham on ballast


Not having seen 60087 "Barry Needham" (formerly "Slioch") for a good while I was pleasantly surprised to see the loco come looming out of the mists on Sunday morning, with a trainload of spoil (spent ballast) running from Nuneaton to Bescot.

There were also a few other ballast moves over the Park, mainly Class 66-hauled, which makes a change as the line is usually redundant on Sundays...

Those things do sound nice, got some guts to them.

Nice shot.
