Today's cement train through the Steel City is sans PCA wagons...
70006 crosses my lens for the first time on an actual working, but the stalwart 4 wheel wagons have been replaced by bogied JPAs. It's not the same anymore...

Thankfully all downhill from here for Heavy Haul Rail's 70011, as the #Class70 approaches Woodley station with 6H52 Dowlow to Ashburys. Was fighting a little bit with the sun, but I got the shot I wanted here.

Blue skies at Hathersage, with I believe Stanage Edge in the background.
Heavy Haul Rail Class 70s 70002 and 70007 put on a bit of power for the final couple of miles to Earles Sidings near Hope. #Class70 #HeavyHaulRail #Derbyshire #SteelCityDoggoPhotography
There was also several surprises along the way.

Anyway, back to #TrainPosting...
70009 is still with Colas, and still found where it shouldn't be!
Here it is powering up through Carlisle on the Chirk Logs train through Carlisle. #Class70 #Freightliner #Trainspotting
#FuglyFriday @ColasRailUK #class70 70012 seen at Swindon during a brief respite from shopping with Mrs K! 6M40 Westbury Down T.C. to Cliffe Hill Stud Fm Colas (📷20/11)
One of the best locations to pass by on the train, the vast complex at Eastleigh.

Colas Railfreight 70812 brings 6M76 Redcar to Bradwell Junction to stand at York for a crew change. These locos have grown on me so much over the years, they always impress on heavy loads such as this.

Another screamer of a performance from 70017. 6M89 Dewsbury Blue Circle to Hope Earles Sidings dropping 70s is always good, but when a signal checked one gets the green and opens the loud lever.

A late entry into #FrontEndFriday as #Freightliner 70009, still on long term hire to #ColasRail, storms through Chesterfield on 0Z02 Bescot Up Engineers Sidings - Doncaster West Yard. #Class70
Right, let's get started!
Starting off well with 66724 "Drax Power Station" on today's 6M01 to Bardon Hill, followed by 70016 😍 on today's 6M89 to Hope Earles Sidings. I'll be passing it again later!

It’s a fair cop gov! There may be some questions we need to ask about the validity of your emissions certificate Sir!
70812 Starts away with a heavy load of ballast from York following a quick driver change.
