Willington Empties

I've not seen too many photos of trains at Willington power station, but here's one, albeit a bit ropey.

 

58026 is snapped through a passing train window on 28th June 1988 as it waits to leave the site with a load of empties. The installation eventually closed in 1999 and at the time of posting is a wasteland, apart from the marooned cooling towers which are still intact.
