Colas Rail hire in 47818 from DRS to work the Boston Steel!

Picture
With 47727 working a 6Z36 Llanwern to Long Marston consisting of 37 VTG JSA wagons for storage, 47739 on an exam and with the use of 47749 currently restricted, corresponding with the unavailable 56302 and 56087 (both on exams) and 56094 on timber duties, Colas Rail opted to hire in 47818 from Direct Rail Services to work the afternoon's 6E07 Washwood Heath to Boston Docks and 6M08 steel train. A DRS '47' makes a rare appearance on the train at Chellaston (east of Stenson junction) running roughly 30 minutes late with 6E07 on the 4th February 2013.

DB Schenker 60020 hauls loaded Freightliner Heavy Haul Box Wagons

Picture
DB Schenker's 60020 - the most recent tug released into traffic following extensive overhaul and refurbishment (60039 to follow very soon after several test-runs) is captured approaching the level crossing at East Goscote on the Melton Mowbray line whilst working the usually class '66' dominated 6E14 Whitemoor Yard to Aldwarke consisting of loaded Freightliner heavy haul green boxes on the 4th February 2013. The loco would work light to Toton before returning to Whitemoor predictably on the 6L15 Toton to Whitemoor engineers and 6M15 return.

Colas Rail 56094 works the 6J37 Carlisle Yard to Chirk logs at Red Bank

Picture
Colas Rail 56094 hauling the 6J37 Carlisle yard to Chirk loaded logs cruises through Red Bank south of Newton le Willows on the approach to Winwick junction on the 2nd February 2013. The train had been looped at Carnforth and was running bang on time when this shot was captured.

Colas Rail 56094 works the 6J37 Carlisle Yard to Chirk logs at Grayrigg

Picture
Colas Rail 56094 rounds the curve at Grayrigg near Docker whilst powering the mighty 6J37 12:40 Carlisle Yard to Chirk loaded timber wagons on the 2nd February 2013. The Grid had been held in Eden Valley and Shap loops which gave the opportunity for a second shot.

Colas Rail 56094 works the 6J37 Carlisle Yard to Chirk logs at Lowhouse

Picture
Under an increasingly threatening sky, Colas Rail 56094 passes through Lowhouse near Plumpton working the 6J37 Carlisle yard to Chirk loaded timber on the 2nd February 2013. The timber train had departed its origin 21 minutes late but was making up good time as it was approached Penrith.

86259 works the Cumbrian Mountain Express as far as Carnforth

Picture
Looking stunning and immaculate in Br Blue, 86259 Les Ross (the most regularly used preserved electric loco in the country) hauls the 1Z86 London Euston to Carnforth Cumbrian Mountain Express charter at Red Bank north of Warrington (as far as Carnforth loop where Steam locomotive 60009 Union of South Africa would take the train forward) on the 2nd February 2013.

37402 and 37405 finally escape Barrow Hill in anticipated return to traffic

Picture
DRS 20308 and 20312 sandwich DRS 37402 and DRS 37405 (both of which have received extensive overhauls and repaints at Barrow Hill depot) on the 0Z57 Barrow Hill to Crewe Gresty Bridge at Stenson junction on the approach to North Staffs junction on the 1st February 2013. 37402 and 37405 both former DB Schenker locos are set to be reinstated shortly after final checks and tests at Crewe Gresty Bridge. Unfortunately the future for 37401 and 37411 remains uncertain with 37422 presumably being readied at Kingmoor for a return to traffic. 37406/410/416/417/426/427 have all been sent to CF Booths Rotherham for scrapping.
