57306 1Z61 @ Preston swing bridge 14/07/2024

            With nothing else to do on my day off I thought I'd have a look down the Preston Docks branch today. I was absolutely stunned at how grown up the branch is thesedas and all of my other shots I had in mind were lost to the vegetation at this time of year so I joined the millions of other veg on the swing bridge instead. Unfortunately it was a bit of a tight angle and to many people in the way for anything better, but nevertheless it was nice to see a smartly turned out 57306 leading the train, with substitue 60047 on the rear. This is the 1Z61 Runcorn Folly Lane-Preston Docks Petrofina 'North West Freighter' charter. It was running rather late here as it took a lot longer to traverse the branch than had been expected.

I have removed a good bunch of people from the shot just to tidy it up a touch.
