13th March 1997

Colourful Tugs! Mainline blue Class 60 no. 60044 "Ailsa Craig" is stabled in the south-facing bay platform at Bank Quay, and Loadhaul black and orange 60008 "Gypsum Queen II" runs past on the WCML light engine. I saw that engine earlier in the day taking what I believe was a household coal train to Blackburn, and it came back light engine to Arpley Yard.
