At the Georgemas Junction flask loading facility, 68017 Hornet and 68034 Rail Riders are prepared to leave with train 6M97 to Carlisle Kingmoor on the lunchtime of August the 28th 2024. The train, which runs only occasionally as required, arrived with the evening prior with an empty flask, to be sent back to Sellafield with waste as part of the decommissioning of the Dounreay nuclear power and navel facility of Scotlands Far North coastline.
This is by a long way the most Northerly rail freight terminal in the UK.
