To the right in this photograph at Stainforth, there were once a number of lines following the path of the concrete reinforcement panels that led towards the coal mine loading point that can be seen on the skyline. 66039 leads the 08.09 Dollands Moor to Scunthorpe Redbourn empty steel flats working as it closes in on its destination. The train was progressing at a little more than walking pace as the driver was anticipating getting the feather at Thorne Junction without having to bring his train to an actual halt; unfortunately, the signalman had other ideas!
