European Railroad Discussion > Semaphores and SheepDate: 05/02/20 06:04 Semaphores and Sheep Author: exhaustED The good weather continues here in the UK... encouraging me to venture out whenever possible, in this case for a couple of southbound ballast trains destined for South Wales/the Severn tunnel as engineering work is going on over the weekend.
The first is early tthis morning, passing leafy/sheepy Bromfield, just to the north of Ludlow in Shropshire; a Freightliner/EMD class 66 providing the power on a rake of relatively new wagons. The second is a little further north around noon, at Wistanstow near Craven Arms. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 05/02/20 09:39 by exhaustED.

Those red DB wagons are nice and bright (for the time being) and the second one (that you saw at Pandy) was a pretty healthy length. Those Freightliner 66/5s in original green are starting to look a little dog-eared... Date: 05/03/20 15:23 Re: Semaphores and Sheep Author: 86235 exhaustED Wrote:

Sadly I think this was the last weekend of work in the Severn Tunnel so we won't get the same variety next weekend. Add the 6V75 empty steel and it was a bumper day on the Marches Line yesterday. |
