OMG ! "Bleak Forest" or Siberian Goulag ?
Apologies for picture quality its a grabbed shot taken on my mobile phone while stationary between windscreen wiper sweeps in a snow storm.
With Peak Forest being 984ft above sea level it goes without saying in the winter it snows but the morning of the 8th was rather challenging as heavy snow showers persisted until day break. This shot was taken from the cab of 66 092 working 6L75 the 04.15 Dove Holes Quarry to Ely Potter Group Freight Depot. The train was already an hour late at this stage after delays loading and incurred further delay while the local on call p-way de-iced the down sidings ground frame and cleared the points of snow to enable a run round. Not the best weather to be doing run rounds......what on earth have I signed up to !
