37885 & 37370

A look at the soon to be rationalized Holywell Junction on the North Wales Coast main line on Sunday 23rd March 1997, finds 37885 on the Sundays only 6E36 Holyhead RTZ Sidings - Humber, receiving a yellow hand signal from the signalman, as it is about to set back over the trailing crossover between the Up and Down main lines, to gain access to the single line working which was in operation over the Down main, between there and Rockcliffe Hall, due to track relaying taking place just on the Chester side of Flint station.

 

The Up loop is occupied by 37370 with a train of top stone for the relaying site, with the Down Loop holding a spoil train, which will probably end up at Ince Moss tip, Mold Junction tip having closed by this time.

 

The Duke of Lancaster 'fun' ship without its current modern art installation and the general lack of lineside vegetation now dates the shot somewhat.
