And now the main event, the northbound pipe train, 6X88 0600 Hartlepool to Georgemas Junction with 66100 at the head end making the fuss.
66100 has 11 pipe carriers and the associated spacer wagons on the drawbar, each carrier has three pipes.
Turning round for the going away shot. On arrival at Inverness the train will recess for a few hours before heading on to Georgemas for unloading. The pipes will then be taken by road the short distance to the plant where they are welded together and floated out to sea for final placement.
