Inseparable freight trains, 640m (6H50) part 2
Here we see the 2nd set of wagons on 6H50 running from Willesden 1-7 sidings to Tunstead (6H50), which was captured passing through Norton Bridge on the 17/6/22.
For info, the loco in the middle of the consist is 66614.
Total Train Length:
20*14.48m MWA wagons =290m (front consist)
22*14.0m HIA wagons = 308m (rear consist)
2*21.35m class 66 = 42.7
Total: 42.7+308+290 = 640.7m
There is a desire to run 750m freight trains with loops being extended to cater for longer trains. I wonder if this was a test run of some sort to see how it would cope on the WCML?
