Class 70 Power Empty & Full Freight Trains on the WCML
Firstly we see the empty train running from Chirk to Carlisle via the scenic route of Wolverhampton and Stafford before a trip over Shap Summit.
The loaded train runs from Carlisle to Chirk down the Settle & Carlisle line and onwards via Warrington and Chester. Kronospan MDF plant is the actual destination.
I did do a similar video on the class 60 recently
