Freight from Tyne Dock

Photo: Major Ian Hughes, Aspect Rail

Here we see 60087 at Tyne Dock (more correctly Port of Tyne Terminal) with its loaded train of renewables awaiting departure for the LPL power station at Lynemouth. 24 wagons equals 497 metres plus locomotive so about 515 metres long, making this one of the longest regular trains in the UK. The date on Ian’s camera was wrong, it was in fact 24 May 2022.
