57305+57303 Creech St Michael
A sign of things to come. A change of traction on the South-West RHTT circuit this year will see GB Railfreight 57/3's at the helm, transitioning over from DB Cargo 66's after well over a decade of being the staple. The other key change is that the set will be stationed in Taunton as opposed to St Blazey after DB's recent disposal of the Cornish depot has left it unoccupied.
On an 'empty' RHTT run and while still devoid of dirt and grime, 57305 and 57303 along with 57310 trailing take the 6Z58 09.16 Eastleigh East Yard-Taunton Goods Reception via Bristol through Creech St Michael, nearing their destination.
This is a rare photo taken by my back-up Canon 77D, which is my stand-in camera while the trusty 6D is away for repair and a service.
