Complex shunt almost completed
After attaching the rear translator carriage and 2 VGA wagons to the rear of Hitachi Javelin unit 395026, 67008 runs parallel with the unit to position the front portion of the consist to the Javelin in order to haul out of the docks complex later in the evening. Note the very poor state of the track the brand new unit is sat on. This had arrived by sea and over the space of a few days was assembled and made ready for haulage on the quay side by a dedicated team of Hitachi engineers. Image dated 13 August 2009
