For the full route from Antwerpen Docks Belgium to Irvine Scotland see www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/14289727859/. In France Patrick Verbaere photographed E 186 348 SNCB-NMBS 2903 working the china clay tanks at Hazebrouck (Nord department) on 20 August 2012 (www.flickr.com/photos/jobiwannn/10559926664/in/set-721576...). Once the tankers arrive back at Antwerpen Docks they are reloaded with china clay slurry (kaolin) made from rocks rich in kaolinite, Al2Si2O5(OH)4, imported from Brazil. This slurry is transported to Irvine, Scotland by 6S94 where it is used by the Finnish company, UPM-Kymmene (United Paper Mills Ltd) Corporation's at their Caledonian Paper Mill to produce lightweight coated paper for printing magazines, catalogues and brochures. In 2010 Gordon Thomson photographed an 0-6-0 Hunslet diesel shunter moving empty china clay tankers from the Caledonian Paper Mill back to the exchange sidings (www.flickr.com/photos/killie65/4976522606/) and (www.flickr.com/photos/killie65/4975901939/in/photostream/).
