Description
On the 22nd of June 2022 I decided to chase 69001 working 6H81 Tonbridge Yard - Mountfield loaded gypsum, helpfully retimed due to the previous days strikes (up the workers!). I managed to capture it three times, a bonus shot due to a points failure at Mountfield tunnel. In order we see:

1: Passing Frant beginning its downhill decent
2: Applying the power down at Mountfield Tunnel up the steep hill
3: Storming up the tree lined branch with sanders on full power, where it will unload.

Enjoy!
