66531 Hensall 13 March 2014

66531 passes through Hensall station on 13 March 2014 with the 6E94 23:53 (the previous day) Hunterston High Level to Drax Power Station coal train. The impressive Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway station building presides over a station that has a very sparse train service, but which is noteworthy in that the level crossing has one of the few surviving sets of electrical operated wheel gates, which operate by an electric motor attached to the gate opening and closing the crossing by powering a small attached wheel, operating on the roadway.
