    About one fifth of the active class 60 fleet are visible in this shot, we have 60045, 60061, 60500, 60015 and 60063.
    The sidings at Peak Forest are very long and 60045's train is being swallowed up as it passes 66078 shut down at the head of its train 6H59 MWFO 1410 Peak Forest to Dowlow empty bogie boxes.
    60045 has come to a stand well within the loading area. Meanwhile on the main line is 60094 arriving with 6M17 ThX 1018 Leeds to Peak Forest empty RMC hoppers.
