Lorraine Greyhound
Class 66 66076
66076 rattles through the Vale of Edale, with the 4H70 1633 Limbury Road to Peak Forest Cemex Sidings - 13/05/2023.
One of my objectives on our short break in Derbyshire, was to find alternative locations to photograph trains on this beautiful section of line. Looking on here, I couldn't find anything other than the usual well known spots. Therefore, I was determined to try & find alternative views. I found this one on an early evening walk & hoped to catch a freight train at this spot before we returned home.
As it turned out I got lucky. Due to the fact that very few passenger trains were running on this particular Saturday, freight trains were running much earlier than usual. This one came through over two hours earlier than scheduled, but it was of great benefit to me, because the sun was just high enough in the sky to catch the sun still on the track, before it disappeared over the hill behind me.
