66199 6N53 steel empties Grangetown Middlesbrough 29 Sept 2021.
66199 runs between the Grangetown Oxygen plant and what is left of the Lackenby grids and steelsheds with empty raw steel carriers tripping from the Skinningrove rolling mills to Tees Yard, trip 6N53, on the afternoon of September the 29th 2021. The wagons will return overnight to Scunthorpe steelworks added to other wagons that deliver raw slab to the Lackenby rolling mills at left.
This picture is a simple stitch. Well, they ain't quite so often as easy as that, but this is two pictures. I wanted to use my 100mm lens and also include the BOC plant as well as the large expansion bends in the pipes at right alongside the Lackenby complex. So I took an acceptable picture of the train with the BOC plant left and then after the train passed, moved right. Well, the driver waved and gave me a toot, instantly I forgot about the stitch and reciprocated so had to recompose, checking the picture on the camera to find the top and bottom boundaries. The stitching software is lazy and with the two photos whole removes the train so I had to crop the right picture close to the signal. This gave a poor stitch along the power lines so I cropped the top half of the right picture and added that to the stitch, it crosses both photos and cures that problem. I hope you like it, its took the best part of half a day to make!
