37707 passes Creech St Michael on 11 September 1997 with the 8C25 13:15 Merehead Quarry to Minehead rock armour. This was a short term contract to supply material for sea defence work at Minehead. The train was worked along the full length of the West Somerset Railway by the EWS loco. Massive rock boulders conveyed in YCV Turbot wagons is not something you see every day, and I now regret not making more of an effort to get more pictures of this train. In fact this is the only time I saw it, and unfortunately it was in atrocious light. |
