Nuclear Flask Traffic from Dungeness

Description
Back in the 1990s, the nuclear flask train from Dungeness was largely handled by the ubiquitous class 73 locomotives using diesel power on this non-electrified corner of the Southern Region. Today, the Dungeness branch remains open from Appledore to sidings on the site of the old Romney Junction where the original branch to Dungeness left the line to New Romney. Atomic Waste is taken one mile by road from the Dungeness Power Station and is transported away by rail. About half mile of the trackbed of the branch has been converted into the main access road to Dungeness power station. This film was shot on a warm spring day in 1997.
