European Railroad Discussion > Upper Holloway Freight LoopDate: 05/22/15 14:42 Upper Holloway Freight Loop Author: 86235 I was cycling home from Camden Town at lunchtime, crossing the Gospel Oak to Barking line on Junction Road I saw what looked like a cherry red locomotive through the lineside fence. It was 59205 on some empty box wagons on a Friday-only working from a stone siding at Chelmsford, about 30 miles east of London. It's booked to sit there for about an hour, leaving at 13:22. So I waited, and here it is pulling away.

Do they empty the MRL bathtub gondolas by tipping them over? Date: 05/23/15 13:19 Re: Upper Holloway Freight Loop Author: 86235 No, by grab
Date: 05/24/15 04:47 Re: Upper Holloway Freight Loop Author: McKey It always amazes me how grabs can empty cars completely. Am I missing to think something? I would assume some of the load will always be left there even after emptying. Which is away from the effective capacity next ime car is loaded.
Here is a typical class Eanos bulk carrier, also emptied by grab, to my amazement. No vacuum cleaning to empty the rest ;) Date: 05/24/15 07:21 Re: Upper Holloway Freight Loop Author: spflow Lovely clip. thanks. Dose the wonderfully named Junction Road Junction signal box still exist? And which came first- the road or the junction? I know the Junction Tavern is worth a detour! I ate there with my daughter and husband last week.
