47785 West Fen 11 March 1999

47785 Fiona Castle crosses the flat expanse of West Fen (between Whittlesea and March) with the 6L76 07:56 Doncaster to Ely Enterprise service on 11 March 1999. The train is made up entirely of OTA timber wagons, which will later be tripped to Brandon. This was one of a number of short lived timber flows that could be seen on the national network in the late 1990s, this being one of the few that wasn't in Scotland. Brandon sits on the edge of Thetford Forest, making it an ideal loading point for felled trees.
