60002 Sunderland Dock - 2nd August 1995.
60002 "Capability Brown" starts the process of forming up 6D40, the 14:28 Hendon to Lindsey Petrofina at 13:53 on 2nd August 1995. This flow had run for many years but came to an end sometime in 1997. Looking at Google Earth the terminal has been flattened but the tracks remain. The docks lines on the right are shown as lifted. In recent months a new scrap flow has started running from Sunderland docks to Cardiff Tidal using MBA wagons. This flow is loaded on the entrance line to the docks further back than this location.
