Network Rail Milling Machines Passes Springs Branch - 20th April 2026

I don't often film track machine moves as many are just mundane and uninteresting to me but this is another exception. What I believe to be DR79102 / DR79103 which is a rail milling machine heading south along the west coast main line through Springs Branch south of Wigan on Monday 20th April 2026.

The pair of machines were working a Beattock down Sidings to Rugby move here which is a long trip. owned by Network Rail and built by Linsinger between 2020 and 2021.

Hopefully a handy website for photos and information here,
