GBRf Class 66 66724 "Drax Power Station" DIT on 6S94 Dollands Moor-Irvine Caledonian Paper at Acton Bridge
66724 "Drax Power Station" Dead In Transit (DIT) behind 92044 on the ICA China Clay "Silver Bullet" tanks working 6S94 from Dollands Moor to Irvine Caledonian Paper at Acton Bridge.
92 044 had earlier brought the tanks through the Channel Tunnel overnight assisted by 92 032, as 2x 92s are required due to the weight of the train. 92 032 was then replaced by 66 724 which hauled the train over the troublesome (for 92s) Third Rail section to Wembley.
The locos then switched with 92044 leading down the WCML as far Carlisle, where it will then come off and 66724 will complete the journey to Irvine away from the wires.
