66738 leads 4L13 1111 Hams Hall to Felixstowe North intermodal past the closed station at Manton Junction.
A variety of other industries have taken over the fascinating assortment of buildings here. Boat building, however, isn't one of them.

47 772 leads Steam Dreams excursion 1Z30, the 06.48 from Shoeburyness to Bath Spa past Dudding Hill Junction in north west London. Steam loco 61306 'Mayflower' was scheduled to take over from the 47 at Southall.
This quiet manually signalled route provides a direct route from the Midland Main Line, Chiltern Main Line and West Coast Main Line to the Great Western Main Line and Southern Region, passing through Neasden South Junction, Acton Canal Wharf and Acton Wells Junction. There can be several hours between trains (the previous train to this was some three hours earlier) and passenger traffic is not at all common. Potentially there are proposals by Transport for London for a west London orbital railway, which will link Hounslow with West Hampstead Thameslink including the construction of four new stations on this current London railway backwater.
Just under half an hour prior to 1Z30 traversing this seldom used piece of railway, it had run on another short stretch of rare track from Junction Road Junction to Carlton Road Junction. That part linking to Gospel Oak to Barking route with the Midland Main Line (MML). When it got it's path onto the MML 1Z30 crossed all four running lines in order to gain access to the 'Hendon Lines' at West Hampstead Thameslink to enable it to pass Dudding Hill.
90134 leads Class 92s, 011, 021 & 042 at Slindon, in the consist of the otherwise fairly lightweight 4M54 Tilbury to Crewe. 15/5/98. I presume the 92s were being towed to Crewe for maintenance.
BNSF 7922 leads three other EMDs and what I have listed as the M-DILLAU (Dilworth, MN - Laurel, MT) west on the KO Sub in West Fargo, ND.
I have no idea if that was the actual train symbol or not as my notes from that day are fuzzy. I do know I was on my way back to Grand Forks after a quick getaway to Medora.
Regardless, a Cascade Green SD40-2 leading a train, even in 2006, was always a welcome treat!
SPMW 222 leads uphill with 2 UP SD70ACes at Bowman, California. After SPMW 211 was dispatched and later being on the ground outside of Shed 10, SPMW 222 was needed on the hill once again and was sent up.
IC 9506 leads 3 SD20's in the orange and grey scheme on a westbound Iowa Division train near the junction at Woods on the south side of Dubuque just before they turn hard right and follow Catfish Creek out of the Mississippi River Valley.
I seem to recall that this was a ridiculously hot and humid day and looking at the clouds it appears that way. We beat him to the top of the hill pretty easily but were thwarted from a long chase by thunderstorms that had built up to the west and clouded us out not long after we got past Peosta.
Amazing to me that there was intermodal traffic on this line even after I-80 was built. Some days there was a lot more than this.
New Haven Railroad ALCO RS-3 leads an Extra four coach railfan excursion passenger train that is seen on the main line in the snow, ca mid 1950's. It appears that four of the older heavyweight coaches are on this train. The passengers will be glad that this RS-3 is equipped with a steam generator on this day. Check out all of the vintage vehicles in the scene.

4109 leads NJ Transit train #212 from the "wrong" east end, something that's done deliberately following major snowstorms to help plow the track. This shot features what would be an anti-technique in my underwater photography work: using a centerline flash to illuminate particulates (snow) between me and the subject.

CP 5686 leads 3 more SD40-2's on Eastbound CP/D&H train 522 at Canaseraga, NY on July 25, 1998. This angle is no longer possible because of all the trees that have grown in during the past 20 years. SD40-2's were pretty standard, and boring, power at the time on the CP freights.
70801 leads the retimed log empties north passed a rather busy (by modern standards) Upperby whilst working 6Z37 Chirk - Carlisle Yard.
Stabled prior to weekend engineering are Colas’ Dr73910: which had earlier arrived as 6J73 from Guide Bridge and GBRf 66776 and 66756 which had chaperoned Schweerbau High Speed Milling Machine Dr79602/3/4 from Durham as 6X69 overnight

NS 8101 leads a 181 train westward on the former Wabash rails that make up today's Lafayette District. NS 181 is a daily train of autoracks and hi-cube box cars, and runs from Oakwood Yard in Detroit to Voltz Yard in Kansas City, MO. The train is pictured at around milepost 329 (measured from Detroit), which is roughly in the middle of the two-mile-long Sidney, IL siding – and one of the rare curves on a railroad that is generally straight as an arrow.
I had hoped to capture 8101 down the line in lower sunlight, but 181 suffered from a logjam of eastbound traffic, some questionable decisions made by the NS autorouting dispatching system, not to mention the challenge of getting across CN's Champaign Subdivision at Tolono eight miles to the west during their late afternoon spurt of activity.
As it turned out, 181 was destined to wait at the Unity control point for the better part of an hour, by which time, dusk had eclipsed central Illinois. 181 had a less than ideal trip this date; it didn't leave Decatur, IL till after midnight.
K183 leads and K153 trails on a Steamrail Victoria suburban shuttle on the return to Flinders Street Station from Sandringham. The train is pictured at Brighton Beach Station which is located very close to Port Phillip Bay.

NS leads the way northbound thru Woonsocket R.I making it's way to Gardner M.a with empty ethanol cars
UP 7845 leads the 48 local north out of the siding in Durant after waiting for a southbound to pass. This train would pull north past the north switch and then the conductor would ride a shove move around the connection track to the Kiamichi Railroad line. Once they back around the connection track the conductor would climb back on board and the train would depart eastbound, cross back over the UP line and continue east towards Pirtle siding to drop off cars for the Kiamichi to pick up.
6349 leads 1 boxcar train over Patterson Road east of Gastonville. This bridge, one of several on this line that still has P&WV lettering.
UP 1999 leads the way as the GSNAEV-02 splits the signals at Sharon WI with grain empties for Evansville WI on the UP's Harvard Sub.. "The Muscle Line" where the action never stops

37403 "Isle of Mull" leads 73967 and two Mk5 Caledonian Sleeper coaches forming 1Z72 05:43 Edinburgh Waverly to Aberdeen off the Forth Bridge and through North Queensferry station on the morning of 1st May 2023.
Due to engineering work on the WCML, the northbound sleepers departed from London Kings Cross meaning the formations had to be shortened to 12 vehicles. As a result the Aberdeen portion was formed of two coaches operating between Edinburgh and Aberdeen only. This gave GB Railfreight an ideal opportunity to send SRPS owned 37403 “Isle of Mull” to Aberdeen where they could assess whether the 37/4 was able to supply ETS to the full four car rake with the 73 acting solely as a coupling adapter, giving them another option in the event of issues with availability of the small fleet of 73/9s.

BNSF ES44C4 8261 leads 3 C44-9W's in the form of 4023, 793, and 614 on the once hot Z CHCSSE. The BNSF received the oil rush and everything came to a standstill per say. The BNSF had to rid themselves of some UPS traffic and the rest was put on a slower "Q" train. The train looks the same and still runs usually with 4 units but a sign of more changes that have taken place. The signal here will be replaced in a few months which will make another spectacular line one of the same. The BNSF Aurora Sub will still stand out with the Mississippi River in the background.
CP 8780 leads 651 ethanol empties returning to the US through possibly the last snowfall of the season. This would be a long, slow journey for the crew as some empty autoracks were tacked onto the rear on this already long train. With an engineer known to be fast they'd make up as much time as possible though as the crew heads for toronto where they'd trade off.
CSX 5428 leads a westbound IVNKC-07 under TRRA's Merchants Bridge at Venice, Illinois.

Penn Central GG1 leads a passenger train on a former New Haven Railroad express track through the station at Green Farms, Connecticut, early 1970's. There are numerous old vehicles to be seen in the parking lots within this scene. This little station building reminds one of a small county depot that might be found along a single track branch line.

This magnificent castle, located near the small town of Gormaz (Soria, Spain), north of the Duero River, is the longest castle in Europe, its dimensions are impressive: 446 m from east to west, a perimeter of 1,200 m, a total of 38 towers.
It was built around the year 1,000 on the remains of Celtiberian and Roman constructions.
The famous knight Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar "El Cid", vassal of several Christian kings and Muslim kings, was the first Castilian mayor.
When most castles eventually lost their usefulness, this castle was used for some time as a prison. It is currently in ruins and can be visited for free.

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa
“Synopsis”
A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.
Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.
During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.
Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.
The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.
Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.
Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.
His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”
Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.
Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.
Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”
Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.
As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.
But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.
Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.
It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.
I agree.
If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.
Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.
I am confident of that.
Stay tuned.

B♭ （ビーフラット） ……. Mitsushiro Nakagawa
“あらすじ”
北朝鮮の仮想通貨システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グループが、アメリカ合衆国へ密かに潜入する。
彼らの目的は、失われた祖国ガザを、アメリカの地に「復元」することだった。
共和党による強硬な移民政策と、国内にくすぶる排外感情を利用し、アメリカ社会を内側から崩壊させる計画が静かに進行していく。
共和党大統領候補ジャスティン・ブラッドフォードがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで演説中に狙撃され、ほぼ同時刻、ロサンゼルスでは前大統領オーウェン・リードもまた、民主党候補ライアン・ベネットの集会で撃たれる。
国家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ジャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。
彼の血液型は、世界でわずか250万人に一人といわれる「ボンベイブラッド」。
その希少な血を提供できたのは、ブルックリンで活動するコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター、アナヤ・パテルだった。
彼女の血液はベルビュー病院の血液バンクに保存されており、緊急輸血によって、候補者の命はかろうじて繋がれた。
シークレットサービスのジャック・バンスは、テロの背後にガザ出身の組織が関与していることを察知し、FBIロサンゼルス支局長官キャメロン・バートレット、ニューヨーク支局の特別捜査官ヴェロニカ・リーブスと共に捜査を進める。
やがて彼らは、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークの再開発現場に潜入し、梁や構造体の中枢にC4爆薬を仕込んでいた事実に辿り着く。
標的は、ICE（移民・関税執行局）やERO（執行・送還作戦部門）の職員が暮らす新興住宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。
ヴェロニカは、これ以上の破壊を防ぐため、大統領への対話を進言するが、現職のグラント・ランフォード大統領は耳を貸さない。
一方、命を取り留めたジャスティンと民主党候補ライアンは、テレビを通じて国民に訴えかけ、分断を乗り越えようとする。
だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアイオワ州での演説を強行し、「テロには屈しない」と宣言する。
その会場には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工作チームが潜入していた。
崩壊する会場の惨状を前に、仲間の一人アミール・ナッセルは、かつてガザで妹を失った記憶に引き裂かれ、破壊の連鎖を止めようとする。
だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。
ウィリアムズバーグ橋の下、夕暮れの喧騒のなか、二人は決別する。
それは、祈りと報復、希望と虚無の境界線だった——。

僕のこの小説は、来年、２０２６年２月末日に公開します。
先日、リドリースコット監督がサブスクの映画やドラマ群がつまらないと話していたようだけど、同感です。
僕も非常に退屈です。
それらに2時間を要するなら、僕の小説を２分間だけ読んで欲しい。
その2分間は、２時間を越えるでしょう。
僕は自信があります。
ぜひ、期待してお待ちください。

The route that leads to the Piton de la Fournaise crosses through a lunar landscape: Plaine des Sables, a stretch of scorch marks and volcanic rocks at more than 2,000 above sea level.
The destination of today's walk is none other than Piton de la Fournaise, one of the highlights of Reunion Island's stunning natural landscape and one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Even when she is not erupting, Her Majesty la Fournaise is worth the visit, not least because the route which leads there crosses such stunning scenery!
First of all it climbs through a forest of cryptomerias, conifers with straight trunks, which quickly gives way to vegetation stunted by the cool temperature and the altitude. The road is now a track, in the middle of a landscape where volcanic rock is everywhere.
A plain between heaven and earth
We arrive at Pas des Sables, on the edge of a rampart, 2,350m above sea level. A breathtaking panorama opens up before us: a desert full of scorch marks with reddish reflections, just like the surface of the moon. Plaine des Sables stretches out beneath our eyes!
The sea of clouds borders both ends, in the North and the South. For several kilometres, the arid plain seems poised between heaven and earth. The rock and volcanic sand take on different colours depending on the sunlight. Sometimes swept by banks of mist, or drowned under downfalls in the austral summer, it's a continually changing spectacle.
The Kingdom of Vulcan
As we cross Plaine des Sables it feels like we're walking on the Moon. The end of the route approaches: Pas de Bellecombe, a belvedere on the summit of Piton de la Fournaise (2,632m above sea level). The volcano sits majestically in the middle of a high rampart in the shape of a horseshoe, the Enclos, created by the many collapses which have marked the geological history of the massif.
Leaning on the guardrail, I let my gaze wander to the bottom of the Enclos which bears the marks of thousands of eruptions. The black traces of recent lava flows cover the rock washed out by the bad weather caused by older volcanic eruptions. Everywhere you can make out the hellish shapes of solidified magma. It's like an incredible sculpture park that you should see at least once in your life!

Die Straße zum Piton de la Fournaise führt durch eine absolute Mondlandschaft: die Plaine des Sables, eine weite Fläche aus Schlacke und Vulkangesteinen auf einer Höhe von über 2.000 Metern.
Das Ziel unserer Tageswanderung ist kein geringerer als der Piton de la Fournaise, eine der Glanznummern des großen reunionesischen Naturschauspiels und einer der aktivsten Vulkane der Erde. Selbst wenn er nicht gerade brodelt, verdient die Majestät La Fournaise einen Besuch, zumal die zu ihm führende Straße 5-Sterne-Kulissen durchquert!
Zunächst führt sie bergauf durch einen Sicheltannenwald; das sind Nadelhölzer mit geradlinigem Stamm. Nach kurzer Zeit macht er einer aufgrund der kühlen Höhenlagen verkümmerten Vegetation Platz. Jetzt wird die Straße inmitten einer Landschaft, wo Vulkangestein allgegenwärtig ist, zum Weg.
Eine Hochebene zwischen Himmel und Erde
Wir erreichen den 2.350 Meter hohen Pass Pas des Sables an der Kante eines Steilhangs. Ein atemberaubender Panoramablick bietet sich unseren Blicken: eine Wüste mit rotbrauner Schlacke, die einen absolut mondähnlichen Charakter besitzt. La Plaine des Sables erstreckt sich vor unseren Augen!
Beidseitig wird sie im Norden und Süden vom Wolkenmeer begrenzt. Auf mehreren Kilometern scheint die karge Wüste zwischen Himmel und Erde zu liegen. Das Vulkangestein und der vulkanische Sand ändern ihre Farben im Licht der Sonne. Durch die zeitweise über sie hinweg wabernden Nebelschwaden oder die Wassermengen des Südsommers bietet sie ein ständig wechselndes Schauspiel.
Im Königreich des Vulkans
Wir durchqueren La Plaine des Sables und haben dabei den Eindruck, auf dem Mond zu laufen. Das Ende der Straße ist nah: der 2.632 Meter hohe Aussichtspunkt auf dem Gipfel des Piton de la Fournaise, Le Pas de Bellecombe. Der Vulkan thront inmitten eines hohen, hufeisenförmigen Steilhangs, der Vulkanebene L’Enclos, die sich aus den zahlreichen Einstürzen herausgebildet hat, welche die geologische Geschichte des Massivs begleiteten.
Auf das Geländer gestützt lasse ich meinen Blick über den Grund dieser Ebene L’Enclos schweifen, welche die Narben tausender Eruptionen trägt. Die schwarzen Spuren der jüngeren Lavaströme bedecken den Felsen, welcher von den Witterungseinflüssen der älteren Vulkanausbrüche aufgeweicht wurde. Überall erahnt man die dantischen Formen erstarrter Magma. Ein wunderschöner Skulpturengarten, den man mindestens einmal im Leben bewundert haben muss!

387131 leads 387130 on a shake down trial, on test prior to going to the newly electrified Great Western.
The eight units no 387130-137 will run on the newly electrified lines out of Paddington as yet there is no railway branding on these units.
These units were seen at Copyhold Junction on the Brighton line.
43083 leads 1D46 1510 London St Pancras - Nottingham over the summit north of Kibworth on Sunday 9th April 2017. 43044 was on the rear.
As the train approached a Stoat was running along the grass in the foreground, sadly it isnt in the shot as the HST spooked it
BNSF 7763 leads a westbound stack train across the Mojave desert, near Cadiz, in the late afternoon.
68004 leads 68001, 68018, 68002 & 37419 working 0Z30 Norwich Crown Point - Crewe Gresty Bridge | Frisby On The Wreake
CR 1998 leads a westbound through the crossovers at Porter Jct as it heads for the Porter Branch and eventually Kankakee, IL You can kind of make out the old C&O Michigan line to the left. It also looks like most of the EJ&E tracks are still in place. I think they had a couple of years left before they got ripped out.

HMS Dasher (P280) leads a formation of six P2000 patrol boats under the Forth Bridge in the largest gathering of the craft in several years.
The boats, which give students from UK universities an insight into life in the Royal Navy, regrouped in Leith for a squadron exercise after taking part in centenary events marking the Battle of Jutland in Orkney.
HMS Archer, Biter, Blazer, Explorer, Express and Trumpeter all lined up behind Dasher (an eighth, HMS Raider, remained in Leith).
The boats carried out various combined manoeuvres in formation and in groups, including light-line transfers between vessels and co-ordinated departures from and entries into Leith docks.

37006 leads 37001 on a train of empty bogie steel wagons past Thornaby station, 18th June 1976.
Locomotive History
37006 was released from English Electric Vulcan Foundry, as D6706 on the 20th January 1961 and initially allocated to Norwich MPD before being transferred to Stratford a few weeks later. Between October and December 1967 D6701 -09 transferred from Stratford to Wath at the same time as D6960 - 68 were transferred to Stratford from Wath. It would appear that on arrival at Stratford D6960 - 68 were dual brake fitted and received the Clayton RO2500 steam heating boilers from D6701 -09, thus D6706 lost its steam heating capability. One wonders why they went to all this trouble? D6706 transfered to Thornaby in May 1970. Originally built with vacuum train brakes it was fitted with dual (air/vacuum) train brakes during a classified repair at Doncaster works in October 1975. It stayed at Thornaby for eleven years before transfer to Healey Mills in October 1981. It was back to the North East in September 1984 with a transfer to Gateshead. In the summer of 1986 it entered Crewe works for refurbishment and reappeared in September 1986 as 37798. During this refurbishment the English Electric generator was replaced with a Brush BA1005A alternator, the locomotive was extensively re-wired and ballast weight was added to give extra 'pulling power' when hauling heavy freight trains. On release from Crewe works it was off to the Western Region with a transfer to Cardiff where it was to remain for five years before transfer to Immingham in May 1993. This was followed with spells at Stewarts Lane, Toton and Crewe before finally being stored at the end of 2003. Following withdrawal it could be found dumped at Cardiff Canton before being moved to Margam until it made its final journey to CF Booth, Rotherham in May 2009 where it was broken up in July 2009.

LSRC 4307 leads four other units southbound under the cantilever signal at Atwood Wye, leading a loaded grain train for Wixom, MI. as clouds roll in during what started out as a bright sunny day.
Rewind 10 years and this is what the Atwood Wye area looked like in Burton, MI. flic.kr/p/2kCS8NV when it wasn't cool. Two main was still there, and in daily use for train meets and D737 to use for customers.
At that moment in time in 2012 Flint to Saginaw had already fallen to the Lake State Railway in 2005, as CSX retreated south.
From the "railfan's" perspective of golly gee the LSRC is such a great catch because of "insert what ever you want here", lets take a side by side comparison of what the "railfan's" claimed was so much better, and we will just start from the time I hired at CSX in Saginaw in March of 2000
First there is the "LSRC has such cool power". Well I remember plenty of GP40-2s, SD40-2's, SD50's, and even SD70AC's (for all intents and purposes they look the same on the outside as there SD70M's) we even occasionally had SW1500's and MP15's. On top of that we had GP38-2's, SD60's, SD60M's, C40-8's, C30-7's, and the list goes on and on of what "railfans" claim is good power, but hardly anyone took notice.
Then there is the claim of lots more trains. Is there really? While I am sure the group running LSRC is doing a great job, as I see it first hand anytime I go home to visit. Is it really more?
In 2000 to 2005 during CSX between Saginaw and Plymouth one could see, two southbound road trains to Toledo. (becoming one train around 2002), Q296, Q5??, a pair of long distance locals D735 and D736. A pair of road freights Saginaw to Pt. Huron Q330, Q331. The Flint/Grand Blanc road local D737, the locals switching GM at Grand Blanc, coal and grain trains and more. On any given day between Flint, Saginaw and Plymouth you could see at least 8 to 10 trains. With LSRC you see essentially two (counting all the way from Saginaw to Plymouth not as crews but as trains) if no extras? On a really good day maybe 6.
What about traffic? While things happen out of CSX and LSRC's control, lets look.
Auto racks, CSX most defiantly even north of Flint. LSRC just now starting north of Flint, and in the beginning some south of Flint.
Grain trains, CSX you bet. LSRC, yes same ones as CSX, with the addition of ones from Standish.
Auto parts, CSX absolutely even to the end there were some left. LSRC even through no fault of there own, not so much.
Stone. CSX very much. LSRC at the beginning yes, although not sure how much they do anymore.
I could keep going on, but I think most get the idea. So what is so much cooler about LSRC? The paint job? Is that what makes the railroad and track they run over now So Cool?
The Gooseberry River, a stream in Lake County Minnesota in the fall, leads into Gooseberry Falls waterfall State Park
BNSF 8583 leads a northbound coal empty through the U.S. Air Force Academy while a still-winterized Pikes Peak stands watch.
This train had solid green all the way from Colorado Springs through Palmer Lake which meant there were no southbounds coming which meant with an ACe leader this was the only train I'd chase on this particular morning.
I was hoping to get a shot with Pikes Peak in it while it still was mostly snow-covered as I got clouded out on a similar shot the day prior. That scar you see between the train and Pikes Peak is the remnants of an old mine, a rare eye sore on the Rampart Range in the Pikes Peak region...
Direct Rail Services class 68 no. 68017 leads the Northern Belle set and 68016 down the slow line at Nuneaton on 22nd May 2016 with 5Z29 Acton Lane-> Crewe HS empty coaching stock move having been used on UK Railtours' 'The Welsh Dragon' over the weekend.
The class 68s are mixed traffic locomotives and were ordered from Vossloh in 2012 by Direct Rail Services. The locomotives are fitted with a 3,800 hp Caterpillar engine and are of Bo-Bo design. 25 locomotives will eventually built and the first examples were delivered into the UK in January 2014. 68001-15 are in the country, 68010-68015 will soon be working on the London Marylebone-> Birmingham Moor Street services replacing the class 67s, these locomotives will carry the Chiltern Railways silver livery. Currently, the Chiltern 68s are slowly taking over, mostly appearing on the Banbury diagram. From 1st April 2015, the 68s are appearing on more and more diagrams. As of 11th May 2016, the 68s are fully deployed on Chiltern and enjoy a variety of work with DRS and also with Scotrail on the fife circle turn.
