Description
Nick and I were on our way to Knottingley and Barnetby and decided to stop off at Toton. I recorded over 2 hours of all the many freight movements that afternoon 25 years ago. Queues of coal trains, double headed 58s and even class 37s and 56s passing through. The VHS tape has lasted pretty well' pity the mic. couldn't quite cope with the wind. Enjoy these memories of busier times with coal.
