A regular freight flow over the Sheringham branch as far as North Walsham at least is the empty condensate tanks from Harwich. The train goes to North Walsham to be filled with the highly flammable liquid that is a by-product of the production of North Sea natural gas that is piped ashore and processed at the large Bacton terminal some four miles from Walsham. 66725 'Sunderland' leads the empties on the approach to Norwich's Whitlingham Junction. Notice the wiper in mid-sweep as the drizzle from earlier had now turned to some more determined rain!
