Just a few minutes after the previous photograph of 66414 was taken 66572 heads south with the 12.30 Crewe Basford Hall to Felixstowe Freightliner train. Creating a lot of exhaust the locomotive is picking up speed after the long and steady climb from Northampton as it passes Victoria bridge near Roade. As well as being in dubious mechanical condition it appears to be in need of a visit to the paint shop with a huge scab of rust evident between the windscreens!
