Description
High drama on the flask at Bridgwater back in February as DRS pair 68033 ‘The Poppy’ and 88007 ‘Electra’ took charge the mornings working from Crewe - Bridgwater Flask shunting yard with the FNA nuclear flask wagons. An irregular additional path soon appeared online, and 68034 ‘Rail Riders’ was subsequently sent to rescue the train as 68033 ‘The Poppy’ wasn’t feeling to well, allowing the opportunity to see x2 locos side by side in the yard and x3 locos in double headed and top and tailed formation with 033 effectively dead in tow on the departure! | 13.02.2024
