The daily engineers' train from Doncaster to Millerhill, which produced a class 56 a few days ago, passed through today with a class 70 at its head. This is the first time I have photographed a class 70 working a train. They may not be beautiful but the power...!
The train was a heavy one consisting of 4 wagons of concrete sleepers (you can see them in the pictures) and a number of bogie wagons loaded with ballast. It was slowed to a crawl in the platform and applied power when the signal came off. The whole place shook!!!
Not sure which picture I like most so I put them all in... taken as the train passed through platform 5.
