66775 With Ministry of Defence Train - 04th February 2025
The class 66 was working a Ministry Of Defence train from the Longtown MOD facility just north of Carlisle all the way south to Kineton MOD. Running a few minutes early here in good form with a decent rake of containers in tow.
For obvious reasons its very hard to know what it's being hauled here.
I have found a potentially interesting website on Longtown
