58 038 at Eggington (Clay Mills), Derbyshire. 1993.
58 038 rumbles south on the Derby to Birmingham mainline near the village of Eggington just north of Clay Mills Junction. Judging by the passing time the train is probably 7V06 the 10.20 Welbeck Colliery to Didcot Power Station Trainload Coal working. Identifying MGR workings in the UK coalfields was always notoriously difficult as they often ran to a separate train plan dictated by the power generators. Because of Didcot's location though its coal trains tended to be in the working timetables so were easier to identify.
