Tram/Train and Engineering Train moves at Parkgate and Thornhill - 8244

* Thornhill
looks as if the 20 bogie wagon consist of 2000 tonnes is stretching all along to the junction cross-over to allow moves off the single track section of the 'Old Road' at Masbrough north. In consequence of the re-start from the north-end signal, S0425, the train came through quite slowly and allowed some flurried activity in trying to find the best 'hole' to poke the camera lens through, in what is essentially now a prison cage of a footbridge over the main lines. With the added bonus of rampant lineside Birch Tree saplings looking to the north, this locale is now almost useless, there being only limited angles of shot to circumvent all the obstacles. Facing south, this is about the best angle but there is no scope for mistakes or trying to be creative, unless some of the associated materials are used in the shot; which has been the case in the past, see-

GBRf 66770 is on the 1st of the Engineer's trains from Melton Mowbray, setting out at 10:45 that morning and passing here around 13:26 on the 6G35, Melton to Belmont Down Yard Working. In around 70 minutes, another GBRf will be passing, 66752, heading from Belmont Yard back to Melton Mowbray on the 6G37 1200 tonne timing load working and finally, a few minutes after that, a north-bound working, 6G36, once more on another 2000 tonne haul from Melton Mowbray to Belmont Yard with GBRf 66737, 'Lesia' in charge. Looks like there are bits of cut-up rail-head in this consist as well as the old concrete sleepers..
