Description
On the 27th of March 66792 broke down just a few miles from its destination, at the southern portal of Sevenoaks Tunnel. GBRf dispatched 73212 to assist, and the rare sight of a 73 hauling a proper freight train. Sadly my shot didn’t go to plan, as a late running 12 car unit (caused by the breakdown!) near enough bowled my shot, luckily just including the locos, So there is just a brief clip of this move. Also included is the rare sight of a Southeastern 375 running DOWN the UP line.

Enjoy!
