GBRf’s 66431 leads the 12.22 Crewe Basford Hall to Bescot

Yard infrastructure move past Stableford a few miles south of its starting point. The Class 66 is towing a lone Railcare owned combined ‘Railvac’ cable handling and cleaning unit. These units are nothing more than a glorified vacuum that sucks up ballast and can, if then required clean it and return it again. This is usually in order to permit staff access to buried cables along the sides of the track.
