    Looking to the north and a southbound Freightliner coal train comes round the sweeping curve with its train of loaded HHA coal hoppers. 66526 fronts 6E65 1431 Ravenstruther to Drax Power Station.
    This train is running just over an hour late, unique DRS 66411 in Eddie Stobart livery fronts 4S43 0612 Daventry to Grangemouth intermodal, this is the "Tesco Express" block train conveying containers for Tesco.
    Another class 92 comes into view but this time it is the sole EWS liveried member of the class. 92001 provides the motive power to 6S94 WO 0305 Dollands Moor to Irvine loaded silver bullets. This train conveys china clay slurry to the Caledonia Paper Mill in Irvine. The slurry used to come from Cornwall but now is sourced from abroad.
