Description
Thursday 30th April at Carlisle. A hot day for the time of year. Once again we see the empty log train head to Carlisle YArd empty from Chirk. Beside the regular freights, engineer's trains and intermodals DRS send some container flats south from their Motherwell depot to Crewe and Network Rail run a set of MPVs configured for Overhead Line work from Carnforth to Carlisle yard and back.
The first time I've seen DB Cargo's 66091 named accurascale (named 7 April last) when it passed through with the evening intermodal from Seaforth Container Terminal.
