86604 & 86639, 21.25 Coatbridge-Felixstowe North (4L89, 1L), site of Roade station
86604 works with 86639 at Roade leading the 21.25 Coatbridge
to Felixstowe Freightliner. These locomotives were under a fair bit of power as they passed me making a heck of a racket and going well hauling the very long and well-loaded 4L89. This photograph illustrates the mess and general detritus left by the various trackside contractors as they go about their business. This does nothing for the appearance of the railways and also acts as an attraction for thieves and vandals.
