The title of this post, 18th August 2011, describes the locomotive content of the following pics, supplied by four contributors.
Pic number one is from John Smith. Recently named GBRf (Eurotunnel) class 66, 66716, is pictured on an engineers working, southbound at Winwick, on 21st July 2011. The loco has a side badge with the following inscription - Locomotive and Carriage Institution Centenary 1911 - 2011. The naming ceremony was carried out on the Nene Valley Railway on 15th May 2011.
The second shot, and the first of a 'tug', shows EWS (DBS) class 60, 60015 Bow Fell at one of Jeff Nicholls' favoured locations, Sankey Bridges. The working is coal and the date, 24th June 2011.
The third pic is from Bevan Price. EWS (DBS) class 60, 60071, is shown crossing Sankey Viaduct with a Liverpool Bulk Terminal - Fiddlers Ferry Power Station working on 8th August 2011.
The fourth and final shot is from Colin Platt. Featured is Freightliner class 66, 66511, at Red bank heading a coal working (do we get much else these days?) on 12th May 2011.
NOTE : I am beginning to run short of Winwick area pics. Some contributors havn't sent anything in for quite a while, so please do so or run the risk of the blog being supported by a few photographers only.
