58037 Thamesport Bulk 13th June 1994

58037 during loading of HAA coal hoppers waits at Thamesport Bulk terminal on 13th June 1994. Imported coal was loaded here for a few years for the Bowaters paper mill at Ridham Dock after the traditional supplies from the midland coal fields had stared to dry up. The site shut many years ago as did the rail facilities as the paper mill. The train was was 6C40 10:40 from Hoo Junction, returning at 6C41 to the paper mill. The 58 was scrapped by EMR at Eastleigh in December 2013
