66793 - a photo on Flickriver

66793

            Not looking as 'box fresh' as the last time I saw her, GB Railfreight's two tone grey 66793 coasts towards Helsby with 6Z58 Doncaster Down Decoy - Llandudno Jn T.C. empty JNA's. A relatively new flow for the North Wales coast, the empties are apparently loaded with slate waste at the recently re-activated sidings at Llandudno Junction.

With the sun putting in an appearance and a couple of potential things worth bothering for, I headed out for the morning with the camera. Sadly the first one of the day didn't work out and my efforts moved to this working which I spotted had an exotic GB shed up front. With variety being the spice of life, I opted to move away from the popular Winwick option and have a crack at it on the Warrington - Chester line. At this time of day the sun angle severely limited my options and after a bit of an explore I decided on this low level angle. I doubt it will win any awards for creativity but it's nice to record some freight over this stretch of track again.
