The first car train shunted at Toton

            Job done, everyone pauses in a lucky patch of sun to admire the sight before the 66 moves away. The first 6X13 Dollands Moor - Toton car train has arrived (on time), has shunted some empty car carriers into place for loading, and backed the loaded wagons into place for unloading imported Toyota Aygos. The trains will run loaded both ways, exporting cars built near Derby, and importing Toyota models not built in the UK from France and the Czech Republic.

The new hardstanding has a good amount of space, and the concrete pad allows cars to be driven on and off the trains. The drone is hovering outside the perimeter of Toton (I know the crop doesn't make it look that way), the main loco shed and paint shop etc are behind and to the left of this view.

Some 60s on a scrap line in the foreground, 60065 further back, resting in-between shunting duties.
