The Sun Sets...
...on yet another railfreight flow.
The containers from Tuesday's 6C48 made their way from Carlisle Yard to Tees Dock yesterday by way of 6E62.
I was out specifically for this working and knew that;
A)...
more... The sun would need to be out.
B) I'd need to be at the western end of the journey as light would be fading fast.
C) The train would need to be bang on time.
Fortunately a rare piece of luck saw a plan coming together for once and we see No.66160 fronting up the consist at Scotby,
The shadow of the front bogie wheels on the nearside rail tells the story; within 5 minutes the sun had dipped out so I was able to head home cold but with a self-satisfied smile.
