66501 Sunday engineers at Acton Bridge

With slightly more sun than was forecasted I ventured to Acton Bridge Station as there were 2 freights due through within a few minutes of each other. I fell lucky with the sun as both workings passed through during breaks in the ever building cloud base.

 

The second freight through was 66501 working a 10:49 Shap Summit - Crewe Basford Hall SSM spoil train, seen here crossing over from the fast onto the slow line to run through Acton Bridge station.

 

She carries the unusual name “Japan 2001” which has been carried since 12th July 2001.
