Looking at Real Time Trains I noticed an intense burst of activity at Hellifield today.
To begin with train 0Z67, the 1020 Kirkby Thore Signal Box to Knottingley T.M.D., had just arrived in the goods loop. This was a short notice light engine move by DB Cargo's 66118, possibly for route learning.
A few minutes later train 6E97, the 1044 New Biggin British Gypsum to Tees Dock Bsc Export Berth, passed through as it does about the same time every weekday. In charge today was DB Cargo's 66096, which was still sporting a well-weathered EWS maroon and mustard livery.
I picked up my camera and moved swiftly to the top of platform 2 in anticipation of the Hunslet stone empties - 6M31, the 0954 Hunslet Tilcon Gbrf to Arcow Quarry Gbrf - passing through. In charge today was GB Railfreight's locomotive 66782.
After all that activity I needed a refreshing brew and fireman's breakfast from Shed 24H.
