    Freightliner Heavy Haul 66518 sits in the sidings at the head of 6J91 1332 Earles Sidings to Weaste loaded cement tanks. The train is already 30 minutes late in leaving, the delay is caused by the train not being complete and some tanks are still being loaded.
    170519 speeds by the sidings which form the exchange sidings for the Castleton Cement Works. The set is working 1L21 1252 Liverpool Lime Street to Norwich.
