Still carrying its BR Mainline branding, EWS 60076 was recorded at Tupton in March 2002 with an assortment of hoppers loaded with limestone forming the 6M85 TTHO 11:35 Tunstead to Ratcliffe Power Station.
The limestone was used in the flue gas desulurisation [FGD] process to remove the bulk of the sulphur dioxide created during the coal combustion process. The resultant calcium sulphite would then be used to produce desulphogypsum, a bulk waste by-product that would itself generate containerised railfreight traffic for onward movement for building products.

CN L564 speeds past Stonehenge between Rockmont and Hawthorne, WI on May 23, 2015. The C40-8M, CN 2451, is hauling an empty WC log car so it can stay at track speed down the Superior Sub. mainline. It will have a dozen car pick up down at Weirgor and then will continue towards Wisconsin Rapids.
Stonehenge is the name give for the former DSS&A bridge here over the former North Western mainline. Not many remnants of the South Shore by the Twin Ports.

Mainline took delivery of 31 Dennis Super Pointer Darts in 1998 of which the first 11 were reputed to have been ordered by Northern Bus. Certainly they had different power settings, gearbox and axle ratios intended originally for fast running on the interurban services between Dinnington and Sheffield. In the event I believe Mainline blanked off the top gear ratio.
The second of the batch is seen in Rotherham on the East Dene Circular when new.
It would become 40514 in the First national numbering scheme.

After pulling onto the CSX mainline in Maysville, KY a TTI loaded coal train now heads south with the U36Bs leading the way to the River Terminal just a few miles south of downtown.
Like many rail lines along the big rivers subject to flooding, you can definitely see this one lives outside the flood wall in Maysville. If the Ohio River floods, the line is left to suffer the wrath of the high water.
Adding to The Sweeney's photo, I forgot we gave these away as well. I can't imagine there are many of these knocking about these days, it being 26 years old. It's not been in the rain for years!
Several attempts were made to darken the engine cover so as to reduce the effect of road grime etc, on the Mainline livery, but none were adopted.

Watched by an orange-clad Network Rail employee, Mainline-liveried 58021 ‘Hither Green Depot’ begins the descent from Whiteball Tunnel with Pathfinder's 'Cornish Explorer', 1Z58 05:30 Birmingham New Street to Penzance on 29 June, 2002. This was the first and only visit of a Class 58 to the Duchy. Although running well at this point, the loco had an electrical fault which prevented the engine from restarting for the return journey from Penzance. Consequently, FGW’s 47811 was borrowed for the journey as far as Plymouth, where RES 47737 took over, the broken ‘bone’ being towed dead-in-train throughout to Birmingham. It was withdrawn from service that August as part of EWS’s general cull of the class and was eventually scrapped in 2023.
The 10 English Electric powered 900 class locos were built by the South Australian Railways at the Islington Workshops with 900 being the first mainline diesel locomotive to enter service on mainland Australia entering service on 10-9-1951.
The fleet started to be withdrawn, starting with 903 on 1-5-79 and by 1985 all 10 had been withdrawn with 3 surviving into Preservation, with 907 and 909 initially going to Steamranger later to be on sold to a private owner.
900 was withdrawn in July 1985 and entered the Mile End Rail Museum for preservation on 18-8-1985.
It was the only 900 class to venture into Melbourne being displayed at Austeam 88.
It was moved into the National Rail museum in 1988 at Port Adelaide where it was photographed on 9-3-13
