Calder capers
DB Cargo Shed 66015, still in EWS livery, approaches Mytholmroyd station in the Calder Valley with the 7.25am Wilton EFW Terminal - Knowsley empty industrial and domestic waste containers (6M16).
Delivered new to the UK in October 1998 this locomotive is one of the oldest members of the class, now in its 22nd year of operation.
Wherever you look in this part of the world there are hills, and often quite steep ones at that, so it's no surprise the route continually curves as it makes its way up to the head of the valley. And, with little room for the River Calder to 'spread', it's no surprise either that periods of heavy rain can cause serious flooding issues in these parts.
