5th June 1988

Class 56 no. 56069 wears BR Trainload Coal colours, appropriate for the location. It's bracketed by two Class 58s, one of which is no. 58041 "Ratcliffe Power Station", and both of which wear the early grey and red Railfreight scheme.
56069 is currently (2020) in the GBRf Class 69 conversion programme, so the loco still lives, but will never be the same again!
