Back to the 70s!


It's been a while since I've noticed a 70 work the ballast from Stud Farm-Bescot, so it was nice to see 70006 rounding the curve at Ryecroft Jn with 6G16 on Wednesday 08th December. I'd have been even happier if it had run a tad late to enable the sun to get round more, but these things can't be helped!

Very nice indeed. Can only have been half a dozen such moves so far involving the new(ish) Class 70, via the venerable Park line.

There haven't been too many ballast workings, but there wave been lots and lots of coal trains.
