During the current mini heat-wave Colas Grid 56087 sets the pulses racing for rail fans and asthmatics alike as it makes a show restarting the 14.50 Washwood Heath (Met Camm) - Boston Docks empty metals (6E07) from the down loop at Meadow Lane, Long Eaton.
I spent many happy hours at this spot in the 70s but shooting straight into the sun would have been a no-no. The flyover in the background carries traffic direct from Toton Yard to the south (including Ratcliffe PS) and was built to avoid the busy, and at the time complex, track layout around Trent Junction.
