19th Oct 1999

A rear-end view of a train is rarely attractive, but somehow I like this image of the short formation of the 6C20 14.15 Tuesday & Friday-only Sandbach to Sellafield bogie tanks headinmg away on to Barrow and Sellafield, with a distant Class 08 shunter to draw your eye (sadly the number of this was not noted). The train is formed of DRS Class 37 no. 37612 and 3 x Hays Chemicals bogie tanks. It arrived from the south at 15.55 and departed at 16.06. The plethora of signs adds interest - or confusion!
