Conveying stone from the Mendips, 59001 "Yeoman Endeavour" approaches Kensington Olympia with 7O68 12:34 Acton TC - Purley on 05/7/2016.
A couple of minutes before the bank of cloud put the lights out, 66047 is seen leading the 6M20 10:37 Whatley to St Pancras train of aggregate hoppers through Great Cheverell. The train is formed of HOA wagons carrying a mix of DB Schenker, EWS Construction and Cemex liveries. 25/02/16.
Having run around Monday's 6Z19, 68017 has eased the train into Sellafield sidings alongside the identical consist headed by 68016.
Both trains would head to the Drigg LLWR the following morning.
Two pairs of 68s are seen inside the Sellafield compound. The right hand pair are being prepared to head for Crewe with three FNAs as 6K73, whilst the other brace would later work 6C46 to Kingmoor.
Aggregates liveried 59001 heads east through Kensington Olympia station with 7O45 on a rather chilly, but beautiful February day. Another happy day filming with dad whom is no longer with us, YT smilevideotrains should you like to see our films, thankyou
Heading DBS' shiny new(ish) HKA Aggregate wagons, 66015 heads past Coedkernew as 6Z47 08:15 Wembley Euro Freight Terminal - Cardiff Tidal TC on the evening of 18/11/2014.
Now running to a later schedule than in more recent times has opened up West Barnes Lane (between Raynes Park and Motspur Park) as an option for BST period shots. With the thermometer showing a very uncomfortable 33c 60029 trundles through with loaded aggregates train 6Y12 1103 Angerstein Wharf (Tarmac) to Chessington South Sidings via Willesden DCR.
While loaded aggregate flows from Tuebrook Sidings tend come in two halves, the second flow ran with a less than challenging load for a Class 60 locomotive. GB Railfreight loco 60026 'Helvellyn' approaches Garswood with its three wagons, hauling the 6F63 loaded trip towards Ashton-in-Makerfield
Running 87 minutes early, 59101 Village of Whatley and 59005 Kenneth J Painter head up the fast line with 0F59 Westbury Down Yard to Leeds Balm Road.

DB red 60017 is seen here descending the 1 in 104 grade towards Melksham as it passes Lacock with the 6C48 14:59 Appleford to Whatley train of empty aggregate box wagons.
Although the locomotive was nominally the designated Westbury out-based shunt locomotive, traction shortages meant that this was its third consecutive day out on the mainline with this working. 29/07/16.
An aggregates train led by clean Re 6/6 620-036 "Vernier-Meyrin" exits the Obere Entschigtal Galerie on the high level of track at Wassen, just uphill from the Command Post.

Non-transforming, I'm afraid. Her engine block and drive shaft forms her hammer, her bucket splits in three (two become her heels and the other rests on her shoulders), the cab forms her rear armor and the back bumper becomes her chest.
I thought it might be interesting to capture this once a week working of loaded aggregate from Neath Abbey Wharf to Pengam sidings (6B75) seen at Pengam Junction, Cardiff, headed by GBRf 66750. It is interesting to note that the line to Cardiff Tidal sidings, Celsa steel works and Cardiff docks has been reduced to a single track since I was last here though it does branch further along.

19.8.2018. Freightliner Class 66 No 66570 passes Bennerley Viaduct and the old colliery loading bays with 6E88, the 09.57 Mountsorrel - Tyne Yard loaded aggregates.
Aggregate Industries livery 66711 heads north at Waitby with 6S94 Wembley - Irvine Caledonian Paper loaded slurry tanks. Unfortunately the sun dipped in the foreground, so a bit of selective 'razzing up' was called for. 30/10/19
With 18 loaded MBA box wagons in tow, EWS 60096 was recorded passing Toton with the 6E52 10:08 Peak Forest to Peterborough aggregates.

Dream is a 2009 sculpture and a piece of public art by Jaume Plensa in Sutton, St Helens, Merseyside.Costing approximately £1.8m (equivalent to £2.47 million in 2020), it was funded through The Big Art Project in coordination with the Arts Council England, The Art Fund and Channel 4.
In 2008, St Helens took part in Channel 4's "The Big Art Project" along with several other sites. The project culminated in the unveiling of Dream, a 66-foot-high (20 m) sculpture located on the old Sutton Manor Colliery site.
Dream consists of an elongated white structure 66 feet (20 m) tall, weighing 500 tonnes (490 long tons; 550 short tons), which has been cast to resemble the head and neck of a young woman with her eyes closed in meditation. The structure is coated in sparkling white Spanish dolomite, as a contrast to the coal which used to be mined here. It cost nearly £1.9 million and it is hoped it will become as powerful a symbol in North West England as Antony Gormley's Angel of the North is in North East England.[5]
Jaume Plensa himself stated "When I first came to the site I immediately thought something coming out of the earth was needed. I decided to do a head of a nine-year-old girl which is representing this idea of the future. It's unique."
The Dream sculpture is built out of moulded and cast unique concrete shapes, 90 pieces in all contributing to over 14 tiers (54 individual elements for the head, each weighing 9 tonnes (8.9 long tons; 9.9 short tons)). Dolomite was utilised as a concrete aggregate in order to provide the brilliant white finish. Additionally titanium dioxide was added to the mix in order to provide a self-cleaning mechanism. The construction required the construction of individual moulds for each piece and took a total of 60 days to cast.
The foundations of the sculpture extend 125 feet (38 m) into the ground with 8 piles driven in to secure it.
Something different now from my travels - during a very brief interlude of sunny conditions, here we see CargoServ diesel lcoomotive 1504.003 shunting its train out of the plant in readiness for its departure on the afternoon of the 2/10/25. I just so happen to have been changing trains at Kirchdorf bahnhof when this working took place.

59001 Yeoman Endeavour powers 6C76, the 14:40 Acton - Whately aggregate empties past Beech Grove Lock near Crofton
When I started [ in the office at Byfleet Aug.75 straight out of school ] I was sent to Chertsey pit to work with Les Hill in the 'outpost' transport office where they compiled the facts and figures from the previous days work before sending them back to Byfleet . At that time there must have been about a dozen J / K / L reg Scammell's , four or five Albion Clydesdale 4 wheelers and several 6 wheelers which were Reivers and the 2 newest vehicles there which were Leyland Bisons with the AEC Ergomatic style cab [ N reg 16519 / 16523 I think ] which were driven by Mike Hunt and Bert Lloyd . There were also 2 or 3 J reg Scammell Artics [ with the original rounded grill moulding ] .
By the time of the above Chertsey depot was down to 1 artic and 2 x 8 wheelers [ on the tipper side ] but just around the corner was the M25 in the offing - the M4 junction with CEM-COS and Chertsey - Leatherhead with Balfour Beatty .
