Winwick Bluebird
60087 passing Winwick with 6E10, the 11.35 Liverpool - Drax loaded biomass on Tues 18th January 2022.
Keen observers will notice the tail end of 6C89 in the distance, which a few minutes earlier had drawn to a stop pretty much in front of where I was stood here. I knew by that time that 6E10 was in section and thought at that point that a bowlage was inevitable. As luck would have it (for us anyway) the train set off again, only to draw to a halt where it can be seen here. If anyone is reading this who was on the bridge, I can but offer my sympathies.
This was my first visit to Winwick and also the first time I've managed a shot of a Bluebird 60 on the Drax circuit. I was pleased to meet up with local photter Alan Hart here, who pointed out to me the option of this shot. Without Alan's help, I'd no doubt have been stood on the bridge in the distance and been gnashing my teeth all the way home.
