56111 approaches Eggborough Power Station with a loaded MGR in the gathering darkness on the afternoon of 12 March 1997. Unfortunately this is the only picture I have of a Class 56 actually working a coal train on the short branch from Whitley Bridge Junction to Eggborough. Note the amount of coal mixed with the ballast on the departure line, the result of years of leakage from the doors of the HAA wagons after being discharged. |
