Backing Up.

Still bearing obsolete Trainload Construction decals, 37686 propels 6C15, the 1021 Carlisle – Workington Enterprise into the Workington Docks Branch on 23 September 1998.

 

The logs - seen towards the rear of the train - were for paperboard manufacturer Iggesund who at this time were a very good railway customer, also employing kaolin/calcium carbonate slurry tankers and – as seen here – ferrywagon bogie vans. The vans were used to bring woodpulp from Sweden via Sheerness which frequently carried back loads of finished board.
