Diverted Freightliner Intermodal_4M63_Wedgewood, Staffordshire_301224_01

            A brand new spot for lineside photography at the time of taking this image. In very very poor light and running a bit late, here we see a record shot of Freightliner locomotives 90040 (front), 90041 (middle) and 66568 (rear) pass through the site of the closed Wedgewood station near Stoke-on-Trent at teatime on the 30/12/24 with the diverted 4M63 from Felixstowe to Trafford Park.

Because of the very poor lighting conditions and choice of location, image quality is well below despite it being taken with a high quality lens and camera. The ISO had to be ramped up which then introduced a lot of noise.

**For information access to the platform at Wedgewood is prohibited on safety grounds, therefore had to make do with this angle instead (not ideal). Also, the timing of this train was very tough if one wanted to capture it on the diverted route in daylight. With hindsight, my choice of location for this train was not my finest hour*
