Immingham NCB Sidings : Debut Rylestone 2
Road construction has seen the start of a new short term flow of stone in to Immingham Docks.
The not inconsiderable road building scheme to improve road access to the docks clearly requires a good deal of roadstone so it is being shipped in, in large part, by rail.
The first trip ran in whilst I was on duty at Wrawby Junction the previous day (1st October) and was scheduled to be unloaded during the late afternoon and evening and return back from whence it came at around midnight.
This was however it's début run and all was not in place to unload the contents of the wagons upon it's arrival so the rake was still sat here on Immingham NCB sidings the following day.
When photographed here the excavator has all but finished it's work in readiness for the trains departure and in this shot can actually be seen working on a wagon at the rear of the train.
Another hour would have seen the sun on the front but I was on my way to an afternoon shift so that wasn't possible.
NCB sidings were, as the name suggests, once used to receive coal for export but how times have changed !
More recently they were used to load imported power station coal for onward movement. Since April and the imposition of the levy on imported coal the sidings have lain idle.
This was the first working to use these roads in 6 months.
Since this inaugural working the train has now settled down and seems to be running daily.
