New Freightliner & GBRf flows and DBC & Colas Light Engine moves at Masbrough Station - 7185+89
Before the container service had departed the confines of the old station, another working pops into view coming under Coronation Bridge, this time its a light engine move from Derby making its way up to the Down Decoy Yard at Doncaster on the 0Y31 move. 'In charge' is DBC class 60, 60091, with 'Barry Needham' nameplate and without any 'fiddling' it is seen passing the south-bound container service, departing Felixstowe at 01:47 that morning, and having come via Doncaster, it will reach its destination at the Masbrough Container Depot in about 30 minutes at 12:10. Meanwhile, 'Barry Needham' makes its way slowly to a 'station stop' at Masbrough's north end signal, S0425, where it will wait for passage of another move, before proceeding north to Doncaster. In the background, the new Biomass facility is taking shape and the new bridge across the River Don has now been lifted into place, after removal of the old blue one, resident there for decades; it is now sat on the land at the Sheffield Road side of the river, presumably awaiting disposal. Details of the new Biomass facility can be found here-

Its a very great shame there has been no effort to connect this to the railway network, the 'Old Road' passes by literally a few yards away, see-

a view taken at the end of March this year when construction was underway. The long container train is slowing on approach to the north end of the Freightliner Depot just around the corner in the right-hand picture and it will move along to the Canklow Up Goods Loop on the east. left, side of the tracks to access the southern entrance to the facility on the west side, entailing a cross over of the main lines; the loco being either at the front... or back!!
