A visit to Barnetby, Melton Ross & Brocklesby, 'Semaphore Signalling Heaven' - 9786+87
* Part 3 *
The last in this section, Part 3, at Brocklesby shows Colas liveried class 60, 60095 heading off towards the refinery as Freightliner class 66, 66523 vanishes off into the distance making its way, empty, to York Yard south. The empty 715 tonne oil train has around 14 VTG TEAs in its consist, some information about these types of wagons-
'...The green TEAs are ex-Freightliner, now VTG. 6 were delivered to augment the Humber - Kingsbury workings when the Green Team hauled them. Since then, at least 3 of them work off Lindsey, of which two are usually seen in either the Kingsbury, Rectory Junction and Westerleigh workings. The other of those 3 has been seen in the Tuesdays-only Ipswich-Lindsey fuel oil working. Not sure what happened to the remaining 3 of the 6 TEAs...'
This in fact quite a short rake of tanks as last week, at Masbrough, a north-bound empty oils went by with around 30 tank wagons in its consist and 30 minutes late a 3000 tonne full oils heading south; buy comparison, this appears to be quite a modest haul of empties back to the refinery. IN the right picture, once again the set of tanks can be seen snaking its way along to the oil refinery to fill up on imported Middle-East oil, Middle East Oil, East European Coal, anybody would think we hadn't got any... and buy the end of the year, we certainly wont have any of the latter, as Thoresby, Kellingley and Hatfiled coal will not be coming out of the mines any more... This is Colas Rail 60095, 6E32, Preston Docks Lanfina to Lindsey Oil Refinery working into Immingham Oil Terminal on the River Humber.
