Shed & Shelter
A resplendent Freightliner class 59 'Shed', unit 59102, comes off the Fareham line at Eastleigh and rolls along platform 2 with the 6.28pm Crawley - Merehead Quarry (6V68) aggregate empties.
After a short pause at the end of the platform for a driver change, the train set off across both Up and Down lines to take the Romsey branch towards Salisbury and Westbury.
Arrival at Merehead Quarry was scheduled for Saturday 00.44 but, with an actual arrival at 00.07, let's hope the driver saw an earlier than expected start to their weekend.
Techie stuff: Canon EOS 5DMkIII, 24-105mm lens, 16000asa, 1/320s @ F5.6
