    Class 66 locomotives were starting to make their presence felt at Peak Forest especially as at the time of photography, there were only about 25 class 60's in traffic. 66078 stands shut down at the head of 6H59 MWFO 1410 Peak Forest to Dowlow empty bogie boxes.
    60500 has left its hoppers at Tunstead and come up to Peak Forest for stabling. It pauses beside 60061 before going to join 60015 and 60063 already parked up.
