DB Cargo UK 66199 (17.05.2018)

Well then, a shed on tanker duty here in this shot! I guess it's usually designated as a class 60 here but perhaps not always, as illustrated here! 66199 unusually deputises for a class 60 as it departs Nottingham Station on platform 7 after a crew change with the empty blue tanks from Kingsbury Oil Sidings-Humber Oil Refinery. In total, this 66 had 32 tanks on it, so a rather heavy brute to haul here without question! There were some class 60 workings I found out from today not involving tanks, one being a Wolverhampton-Immingham steel train and another I think being an engineers working from Toton Yd-Beeston Yd, so to see this 66 on tanks was most certainly a rarity!
