Heavy-Lift Shed
GB Railfreight Class 66s, 66715 "Valour" Top 'n' Tail 66723 / ZA723 "Chinook" head through Hartford with an interesting selection of translator coaches and wagons on 5F90 15:30 Leicester LIP to Tuebrook Sidings.
The freshly cleaned and polished locos were on their way to collect Stadler / Merseytravel unit 777 002 and then head to the Raillive event at Long Martson the following day. The mixture of wagons were presumably a neat way of providing brake force, but also taking "!one of each" to Long Marston for display.
The consist was:
66715
6377 (Mk1 Porterbrook barrier/translator coach)
6376 (Mk1 Porterbrook barrier/translator coach)
70 0689 0441 IIA-C (biomass hopper)
