66568, Crewe Basford Hall-Crewe Basford Hall (6Y10) & 66569, Crewe Basford Hall-Crewe Basford Hall return (6Y11), Ashton Road bridge
Switched off and idle consecutively numbered 66568 and 66569 sit
side by side on the up and down fast lines between Roade and Ashton. Both locomotives were leading infrastructure stock with the fabled 'drain train' being nearest to the camera. 66568 was leading a loaded ballast train. I am not sure as to when they were started up and moved but at least one was still present on the following morning.
