68017 & 68034, 6M97 flask Kilmote Sutherland, 28th August 2024.

            68017 Hornet leads 68034 Rail Riders with train 6M67 from Georgmas Junction to Carlisle Kingmoor. The train formation is a loaded nuclear flask sandwiched between two four wheel barrier wagons. The train runs only occasionally, carrying contaminated waste from the decommissioning of the Nuclear facility at Dounreay on the far north coast of Scotland, which shut down back in 1994. Here was a fast reactor development centre, commissioned back in 1955 and also a Naval development and test centre for the reactors for Nuclear Submarines. Now well into the decommissioning phase, it is expected to have the site cleared by 2036.All being well, the site will become a Brownfield site by 2336. This train runs infrequently and as required, the only booked freight North of Inverness, it is seen here running along the coastal section of the Far North line past Kilmote between Helmsdale and Brora on the 28th of August 2024.
