Coal Rail Traffic From 2011 to 2013 - Video Compilation
Not a common sight these days with the import of Biomass fuel taking over from coal for the major power station, although there a few still around now and again.
The footage shows mainly class 66 diesel locos hauling the coal wagons with a class 70 also on one of the trains.
Thanks very much for watching.
Stay safe - Allan.
