The Presence

Emerging from the Lincolnshire mist, Freightliner 'Shed' 66506 cuts an ominous presence as it climbs the last few yards of the 1:264 grade approaching Market Rasen station.

 

The train is unidentified but almost certainly a coal empties from one of the Trent Valley power stations destined for Immingham Docks and a fresh load of the black stuff.

 

Another shot that never made the cut at the time, although I did share a view of the train taken much closer in with a very different composition. While going through the collection deleting images that hadn't been (and were unlikely to be) used, I thought this one had enough about it to merit a run out - I quite like the mood it conveys.
