Freightliner 66558 pauses in York with 6Y31, Tweedmouth to Doncaster Belmont. Wonderful lighting in the station at this time of the afternoon.

47815 âGreat Westernâ on the rear of the return excursion to Carnforth. The finish on this loco is outstanding, and you can still smell the paint! All credit to West Coast for this one.

The warm autumnal sun illuminates the welcome return of the mighty Brush Class 60 on the biomass!
60085 âSnowdonâ makes its presence known at York with 6H12, Tyne Dock to Drax Power Station.

56112 Powers through Melton Ross heading east with MGRs. The loco had 21 years of service before its withdrawal in 2003. It was a further 8 years until the loco met its end at Kingsbury.

Carrying its final number of 47971, former 47480 âRobin Hoodâ stands at Rugby. The loco would meet its end at Kingsbury in 2001.

A couple of shots of 37410 âAluminium 100â collecting the logs from Dalmally on the Oban line. The 37 adorned with the Transrail logo of the time. Sadly cut up in 2013 at Boothâs in Rotherham.

Railfreight Distribution liveried 47286 âPort of Liverpoolâ awaits its next duty at Carlisle. Withdrawal came in 1999, and the loco was cut up in 2000 in Wigan. A sad end for the loco after 33 years service.

Freightliner Heavy Haul 66565 & 66547 approach York with 0Z13, Carlisle to Balm Road. I have to say, the old Freightliner logo looks a lot better than the new Heavy Haul decals.

37240 Arrives at York with 1Z31, Vintage Trains service from Derby. Following a bit of messing about and shunting, the train went forward to Scarborough behind the Flying ScotsmanâŚI didnât photograph that bit!
#Class37#Tractor#York#Transrail
97411 (formerly 45034) awaits its fate at Woodhouse Junction. The big Sulzer would be cut up shortly after at MC Metals in Glasgow in 1992.
#Class45#Peak#BritishRail
Heavy Haul 66555 passes through platform 3 at Manchester Victoria with 6Z34, Runcorn Folly Lane to Brindle Heath. More and more of these HH locos receiving the new branding.
#Class66#Shed#HeavyHaul#ManchesterVictoria
TransPennine Express Desiro 185113 âHull Paragonâ heads east with service from Manchester Victoria to Scarborough. The 3 car unit delivering 2250hp, not too shabby for DMU!

A couple of shots of one of the East Coast Thunderbirds at York. Colas Railfreight liveried 67027 caught napping in the postal sidings.

Love them or loathe them, theyâre everywhere these days. Fast and efficient (on electric anyway), uncomfortable whatever the power source! Clinical in every aspect.
Genuine question, does the 80x fleet appeal to anyone or have a following?
