66534 & 66505, 10.45 Wembley Yard-Crewe Basford Hall (0Y62, 45E), Roade Hill As I was walking across a field close to the line between Roade and Ashton I was aware of a train heading north. It emerged from the shallow cutting to the left in this view just in time for me to get the camera out. 66505 and 66534 'OOCL Express' run light engine as the 0Y62 10.45 Wembley yard to Crewe Basford Hall. It is clear in this photograph how grey and dull the day before Christmas was! Incidentally, I have just been reading about the construction of the extremely troublesome embankment seen in this photograph and of Roade cutting itself by the thousands of navvies who descended on this rural quarter of Northamptonshire from 1834. The history of the cutting is superbly documented in a new book written by Chris Hillyard and published by Roade History Society, see.... https://www.roadehistorysociety.org.uk/ Keywords: 66534 66505 10.45 Wembley Yard-Crewe Basford Hall 0Y62 Roade Hill Freightliner OOCL Express
