During the morning EWS Class 66 no. 66130 is parked up with its rake of Network Rail IEA bogie ballast open wagons, whilst ballast is unloaded by machines. The installation of the 3 mile dynamic loop is in full swing! This is a point just east of Cloakham and the end of the loop (Axminster East Junction) is just to the right of this view. The train will depart eventually as 6N94 to Eastleigh Yard.
