Chellaston - 66304 on 4E49
With a good weather forecast, I decided to have my first proper day out for the year, heading over to the Sheet Stores freight only line south of Derby.
Following a near death experience in the aftermath of mine and power station closures, the line has seen a modest rebirth with some intermodal workings coming this way.
Here the 11.06 Daventry (DIRFT) - Doncaster Tesco train heads east, like most freights now on the NE-SW axis routed via Toton rather than Derby. This was 32 minutes late, not helping the shadow on the lower part of the cab front.
