Vans on the Valley - a photo on Flickriver

Vans on the Valley

            66131 heads a long rake consisting of four container flats and 30 VDA vans, heading for Tyne Yard. 

The vans were previously stored at Upperby and then Kingmoor and were being moved on for further storage at Tees Yard.

The light here was always going to be touch and go. A few minutes earlier I was cursing as the sun disappeared behind low cloud but just enough light emerged from beneath to highlight the train as it passed (fortunately running a little early).

The working is the 6C20 18:37 Carlisle New Yard to Tyne Sorting Sidings. Thanks to Adrian Nicholls for the tip off that this unusual one-off working was running.

12th September 2022.
