56094 Knottingley 3rd August 2022
My lasting memory from this trip to the Knottingley area is as soon as one train cleared another would turn up, the train plan must have been intense that week which allowed us to drive from bridge to bridge to pick the loco's off. This shot taken at the Womersley foot bridge shows 56094 "Eggborough Power Station" in full coal livery including the cooling tower cab casting heading towards it's namesake Eggbrough power station on a glorious 3rd August 1995.
This 56 is one of the lucky survivors and still in use with Colas over 40 years after being released into traffic from BREL Doncaster on 9th August 1981.
