Busy Burton - a photo on Flickriver

Busy Burton

            A busy scene at Wetmore Sidings, Burton upon Trent on 15th April 2008, with the prime feature being the approach of Class 60 No, 60082* (formerly Mam Tor) heading 6E41 Westerleigh - Lindsey discharged tankers. On the right, in the future Nenesis Rail's siding, is 'Castle' No. 5029 'Nunney Castle', with Class 47 No. 47773 tucked inside for insurance, which is taking water during a test run from Tyseley around the East Midlands circuit. There appeared to be a problem as it did not emerge during my extended stay here. In the background an Arriva Cross Country Class 170 'Turbostar' approaches the station with a Nottingham - Cardiff service, while on the left an intermodal service from Felixstowe has just arrived containing boxes for the nearby Argos warehouse. Note the large 'grab' machine for the transhipment of the boxes.
