66618, 13.20 Willesden Yard-Tunstead (6H50, 5E), site of Roade station
66618 'Railways Illustrated-Annual Photographic Awards' leads the 13.20 Willesden Yard
to Tunstead empty stone wagons running as 6H65. Stone trains are not particularly common on the WCML but with HS2 activity ramping up more freight of this type is now becoming far more frequent. Notice the tatty nature of the front end of this 2003 Class 66. The rust staining below the windscreens is an all too common issue with these locomotives most likely caused by poor sealing and a lack of attention paid to the surround flanges.
