A "new" visitor?

Thursday, 26 July 2012 @ 15:00

The field is still too wet so from the layby this afternoon:

66534 OOCL Express, new arrival 66532 P&O Nedlloyd Atlas, an unidentifiable Network Rail 57/3 (believed to be 57305), Sprite and a Gatwick Express Class 460's DMFLO without branding. - Is this the first time a 460 has visited the Brush?

15:32

Network Rail's 57312 arrived from the north to go through the gate into the Brush.

Class 92s

Field now so wet the water is across the road!

Only "Sprite" HC D1341/1966, visible from the layby but a move further round towards the viaduct found a few bits hiding behind the portakabin block.

From right to left: 73209, the cab ends of 2 class 92s ( presumed to be long term residents 92045 and 92046), 56009 and, on the back of a trailer and under tarpaulins, the unmistakable outline of a Eurostar power car (3308).

Pack your wellies!

70001 on Great Central

Slightly off topic but 70001 escaped from the Brush on Tuesday afternoon, was taken on a lorry to Quorn and is currently on the Great Central Railway at Loughborough.
