An Orgreave Perspective with GBRf 66s & two Freightliners at Treeton Junction - 5006+12+15+17

            A mosaic of 4 images showing the varied and colourful consist in the train hauled by GBRf class 66, 66727, 'Andrew Scott CBE' on its way south, around 15 minutes early again on the frequent mid-day working through here, Civil Engineers train, 6M73. Not being all that familiar with the vagaries of wagon types and their uses, some time was taken to identify all these:
Starting at top left-
* At the front, canary yellow 'MRA(E) Ballast Wagons' which look to have a hydraulically operated side tipping facility; the doors rising vertically to release the contents?
* Blue and grey 'MRA(A) Side Tipping Ballast Wagons' which look to have doors opening in an upwards direction similar to a 'flap'.
At top right- 
* DB Shenker, now DB Cargo 'DBC MXA Wagons' which, due to the results of a recent competition for a name for these, are know known as 'Lobster Wagons'
At lower left-
* A RailCare-Sweden, yellow railvac unit next to the 'Lobster Wagons'; the former being a 'RAUK-2 RailVac', On-Track BVES (Ballast Vacuum Extraction System)  Finishing Machine.
* Behind that a VolkerRail DRK8163, Rail Mounted Diesel Hydraulic Crane in grey, black and blue livery
and at lower right-
* what looks like the tool store but I suppose could also be the 'NR Tea Room'.
