GBRf 'Shed' no. 66762 leans to the curve passing Nuneaton with the 9.28am Dagenham Dock - Garston Car Terminal (6X43), and its load of vehicle carriers plus cars.
This was one of the two out-and-back trains that worked between these two points on the day - the outbounds to Garston with a timed trainload of 1200 tonnes, and the returns to Dagenham with a load 950 tonnes (presumably just the empty carriers).
Trains carrying cars to Southampton Dock from Jaguar / Land Rover's Halewood plant for export to the US and Far East seem to be pretty thin on the ground these days, currently running at around one or two per week.
May have been a bit of slider work for artistic effect.....
Comments off for this one, thanks.
