Furzebrook terminal
58008 engages in a spot of shunting at Furzebrook. The tanks were split into 2 rakes and one half loaded with liquid Propane, the other with liquid Butane. Locomotives were not permitted to work fully into the terminal as it was deemed a Class I hazardous area, so loaded rakes were moved very slowly out of the terminal confines by a track based mechanism. These were slip workings, where a full load of empties were swapped for a full rake of loaded.
