Diverted Freightliner Intermodal_4L67_North Rode Viaduct, Congleton, Cheshire_020125_01

            The weather in this part of the world over Christmas and the New Year period was plagued by fog, dullness, gusty winds and heavy rain. However, the weather finally broke to more favourable conditions on the last day of the freight and passenger diversions.

Here we see Freightliner locomotives 90044 (front) and 90012 (rear) cross North Rode Viaduct near Congleton in Cheshire East on the bitterly cold morning of the 2/1/25 with the diverted 4L67 from Trafford Park to Felixstowe.

This spot was accessed after a very challenging cycle ride along the canal from Congleton station, which was both icy and muddy at the time of taking this image.

**For information, this train normally runs via Wilmslow and Crewe, but due to the re-signalling project taking place in the Crewe area during the Christmas and New Year period, this train was diverted via Stockport, Congleton and Stoke. The train rejoined its booked route south of Norton Bridge**

***Image quality not great unfortunately (camera malfunctioned as the train crossed the viaduct presumably due to the low temperatures)***
