On hire to Victa Rail, Direct Rail Services 37716 restarts its 2000 plus tonne load of aggregate. It was hauling the load from Peak Forest Up Sidings to the Peak Forest Long Sidings (with some noise!)

Lugging its aggregate wagons out of the Kirkstall Forge Down Loop, Biffa-liveried 66783 continues its run from Hunslet Tilcon to Arcow Quarry, the River Aire on its right.

Hanson liveried 59104 is seen here heading along the Great Western main line as it passes Langley Burrell with a 6Z48 09:30 Appleford to Whatley train of empty aggregate box wagons. Recently, this train has been running in an earlier short term path, providing a welcome morning westbound working of interest on this route. The shot is taken from the bridleway bridge that replaced the level crossing here when the line speed was upgraded prior to the introduction of H.S.T. services. 18/02/16.

Aggregates to the fore at Chichester with understandable enthusiastic use of horns as Hanson Aggs Cl59/1 59103 6068 to Crawley overhauls a not too dusty FL 66/5 66554 6052 its train in the process of unloading.

Freightliner HeavyHaul Class 70, 70015 growls through Acton Bridge station with 6C54 22:18 Tunstead Sidings to Hardendale Quarry Shap.

 

This was the second time I'd seen Jordan K that evening - the first time being in the car park at Northwich Station.

Aggregate Industries livery 59001 "Yeoman Endeavour" passes Kensington Olympia on 6v18 1120 Allington A.R.C. SDG. - Whatley Quarry,photographed on 25/05/2017

On a hot, late summer evening at the foot crossing by Beech Grove Lock, near Crofton, one of the ex ARC batch of Class 59s, 59103 Village of Mells is in charge of 7C64, the 15:24 Acton - Merehead empties

DB Cargo 66021 approaches Harrowden Jct. working the 06:36 Mountsorrel Sdgs to Radlett Redland Roadstone aggregates.

With Freightliners new livery becoming an increasingly common sight on the Mendip stone traffic, the older colour schemes of the Class 59s are becoming harder to find

59101 Village of Whatley is reflected in the Kennet and Avon canal at Froxfield lock while working 7A74, the 08:32 Whatley - Theale. Despite it being perfectly still, the canal here will never be totally calm as an overspill channel discharges into the lower level just by the lock

I'd arrived early for 7A09 in sunshine, only for the edge of a huge area of low cloud and fog to blank out the sun 10 mins later. Fortunately it had burnt off by the time 59101 appeared and the wide angle view minimises the back lighting

BRH UK Haulage Foden Alpha YC02GCY seen on the M25 motorway earlier this evening

On the hottest day of the year and a new location which is passed frequently on the cycle trips to Cumbria, here we see Freightliner locomotive 66616 working the 11:05 aggregates service from Hardendale to Tunstead on the 19/7/22 (6H51)

 

Despite the efforts, this was the only train photographed in Cumbria on the day in question due to major service disruption and this part of the WCML being shut from 14:00hrs onwards due to OLE damage. The majority of the day was spent under a tree going nowhere fast monitoring the track-maps and RTT.

Ground down by the sea

DB Schenker's EWS liveried 66183 heads under the bridge at Brantham with 6V07 1200 Ipswich Griffin Wharf to Theale Foster Yeoman loaded aggregate hoppers.This has been an erratic runner of late so glad it ran today even though it was running a bit behind time.

Photographed during a minus tide.

Although it is still wet, it is several feet above the water level.

This is a large example of Puget Sound's common Aggregating Anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima).

It was a very sunny day, I shaded them with an umbrella to avoid the mass of specular highlights. But have reflections of the sky and my white umbrella, which I did not realize until I got it up on the computer screen.

Has been cropped so the texture of the sea anemones can be seen.

Do enlarge to see a bit more.

Aggregate Industries/GBRf livery 66711 named "Sence" is captured in the evening sun working 4F23 Ironbridge Power Station-Liverpool Bulk Terminal biomass empties.

Driver Chris Guntripp opens up class 56 no's 56091 & 56301, and they sounded superb, from a signal check at Wimbledon West Junction with the rather infrequent 6O15 1201 Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Chessington South aggregates train.

The view from the Iron-age hill-fort on Mount Caburn near Lewes in East Sussex, The River Ouse meanders towards the sea almost 500ft below. 66175 approaches Southerham Jn with 6M26 1047 Newhaven Marine-Langley conveying sea-dredged aggregate. The train has just crossed the tributary of Glynde Reach which separates this viewpoint from the main ridge of the South Downs. Many thanks to JT on se-gen for assistance in identifying the loco.

60039 with empty aggregate wagons from Warrington for reloading at Tunstead

aggregate beginning to be spread and tampered. one bag doesn't go very far so from thinking i'd bought too much aggregate i'm wondering if i've bought enough! by the end of the day i'll know ...

 

sand will be spread and tampered on top of the aggregate

 

in the black sacks at the end of the garden are broken roofing tiles, which had been used to edge the plan of the garden at an earlier stage flic.kr/p/2mv7MWE i'm going to break them up more then lay and tamper them at the top end of the garden path before the aggregate goes down on top as the trench is deeper than required

 

the broken bench moved to the back of the garden for the cats

the dwarf fushia in the centre bed is still in its pot and only placed. it may/may not be its eventual position. i had it in a hanging basket ...

 

ps spot tiddy one of the garden cats

 

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

(28/3/25)

A new aggregate flow has commenced in connection with construction work for HS2. GBRf No. 66713 'Forest City' has just passed the site of the long closed Sutton Park station as it works through Sutton Coldfield on 31st August 2020 with 6G99 0539 Dowlow Hindlow GBRf - Washwood Heath RMC GBRf in tow.

DB Cargo 66093 has just crossed the River Nene and is about to pass under the A45 to the south of Wellingborough with the 21:42 Moreton-on-Lugg to Radlett aggregates made up with mostly ex-National Power wagons.

'Coastway' stone working. 59204 approaching Havant with loaded stone train 6O68 0911 Westbury Tarmac to Crawley Freight Yard. With the changes to the Mendip stone train schedules, caused mainly by FLHH no longer using Acton Yard, the 'Coastway' route now has a quite regular freight east of Chichester.

66779 'Evening Star' powers past Middle Drove level crossing, March on the stretch of the Fens between Whittlesea and March. The GBRf celebrity machine is in charge of 6L75 Peak Forest to Ely loaded aggregates service. (Photo taken with pole)

GBRf 66711 bings the Felixstowe to Hams Hall through Brantham with a decent load. Apparently named Sence after the river running through Aggregate Industries site at Bardon Hill. A short and not very inspiring name

Another special liveried locomotive and despite the sun being side on, it would have been rude not to have taken a picture. Here we see GBRF celebrity locomotive 66789 sporting the BR livery working the loaded 17:14 aggregate service from Mountsorrel to Whitemoor Yard, which was captured in Cossington on the evening of the 19/4/21.
