Peak Forest
Peak Forest in the Peak District with its Semaphore signals and signal boxes, abundant freight trains and beautiful scenery, is a unique combination that is surely difficult beat anywhere else in the UK. In this scene taken at around 21:04 in the last of the evening light, from left to right, is DRS shunt loco 66427; GBRF Shed 66788 loading up with aggregates from Dove Holes quarry which will form the 23:45, 6B10 Peak Forest to Bletchley Cemex; DRS Shed 66428 with loaded aggregates, and Freightliner Shed 66510 working the 20:58 Tunstead to Wembley Sidings. We had hoped this train would be double headed with a banker at the rear, but it wasn’t this day. In the rear, the red train has DB Tug 60017 in front which will work the 6E19 Peak Forest Cemex Sidings to Aftercliffe Sidings.
