A working that saw hundreds of railway photographers descend on the Midland Mainline on 21 April 2010 was the 6Z90 08:37 Tyne Dock to Sheerness scrap train. A good percentage of them seemed to be at this location! The prospect of a pair of 37s on a real freight train in the sun was too good to miss. Although the lineside clutter is hardly photogenic, this is one of the few locations on the southern end of the route where the sun would still be on the nose at the required time. 37510 & 37667 prepare to weave across onto the bi-directional freight line at Harrowden Junction. At this point they were running a few minutes early, however, this was not to last, as signaling problems further south brought the train to a stand at Bedford. |
