59004 Paul A Hammond passes New Mill on 20 September 2019 with the 7A09 07:17 Merehead Quarry to Acton Mendip Rail 'jumbo' stone train. I thought I had left home in plenty of time for this, but upon arriving at the location I discovered that it had left Woodborough loop 18 minutes early, and was therefore not very far away. Luckily the 4800 tonne train (mostly out of sight around the bend) was travelling slowly, so I easily had enough time to walk up the side of the field and get in position. |
