Description
A traction packed selection of trains seen heading along the west coast main line and through Bamfurlong south of Wigan on Monday 3rd June 2023. 5 locomotives on 4 trains with 3 classes and various companies on show.

We begin with the usual Tesco southbound container train with a solo 68 at the helm. The sand train hauled by a class 60 was next which is rare inbound on a weekday as it didn't run on Saturday also a loco swap for 56091 ran in later. Next its 60021 on the usual Ashton stone job with a nice finale being a pair of West Coast 47s haul a coaching sock move from Southall to Carnforth after another railtour. A rather wet morning followed by dry sunny afternoon is classic English weather.
