Working outside at home a short distance from the line in Roade I had been aware of the sound of an idling Class 66 for some time. I ventured out on my bike with my camera over my shoulder to investigate. Having taken the rear of the train (previous image) I nipped to the site of Roade's former station to see the front end. I timed it just right as the train started to move off as I got off my bike. 66754 'Northampton Saints' is seen creeping along leading an engineering train heading for its worksite at the nearby Sergo Logistics Park that is to be rail connected at both the north and south ends.
