Return to the area of 'Tornado' at Norfolk Bridge, Grimesthorpe & Ecclesfield - 1270

            * Grimesthorpe

Having come off the down main line at Mill Race Junction and crossed over the up main, 'Tornado' has now pulled up in the Brightside Up/Down East sidings with the city in the background and alongside a DBS class 66, 66097, waiting its away back to the Hope Valley on an 800 tonne, return empty working. The water tender has already extended its hose to the tender by the time this was taken at 19:27, just 14 minutes after the Norfolk Bridge crossing occured. The allocated time for the water top-up of 6,000 gallons, 27,000 litres is 40 minutes and whilst all that is going on, three 'attendants' are stood chatting and facing in the direction of the most interesting looking traction! The line curving around to the left in front of 66097, to the left of 'Tornado' is the single line to what was once Coopers Scrapyard and the Goods Station for the S.D.R., the Sheffield District Railway now location of the European Metal Recyclers and Cemex Cement Ltd. Class 66, 66097, came into the area earlier in the day hauling 2600 tonnes of material on the 6E18 working, Peak Forest Cemex Sidings to Attercliffe Sidings EWS, for the Cemex Works. Having unloaded during the day and reversed its empty red-MBA Wagons back into the Brightside sidings, the loco has now run-around the rake of empty MBAs, coupled onto the front and is now waiting for the 'off' back to Peak Forest on the 6M53, Attercliffe Sidings EWS to Peak Forest Cemex Sidings, working. Meanwhile, 'Tornado' 60163, simmers alongside, having a large glug of water before it too sets off back, before 66097 as it turns out, en-route for the Blackburn Valley, Barnsley, then back through Wakefield and on to York where the Pacific will come off and be replaced by a DBS 67 for the last leg to Darlington North Road. 'Tornado' is at its water-stop on the 1Z66, Chester via Sheffield to York charter tour, 'The Mad Hatter', at York, DBC class 67, 67002, 'Special Delivery' will take over for the last leg back to Darlington North Road.
