18.6.12 - 66740 4M20 West Burton - Kirkby Thore, Angerholme

Not the 'Blue Monday' I was hoping for! With a decent forecast the prospect of some early morning freight in decent light looked good, however although the weather was fine, on this occasion it was the amount of workings and the choice of traction that let the side down. There was no need for a 5.15 start because in the event this was the first freight to show up. GBRf could've had any of their attractive liveried blue locos on this working but this thing showed up instead. Oh well, it's unique in it's own drab way I suppose. GBRf owned but wearing de-branded Freightliner green, 66740 eases downgrade at Angerholme at around 08.15 with 4M20 West Burton - Kirkby Thore loaded gypsum containers.
