A regular and interesting freight flow through from Norfolk to Yorkshire remains the so-named 'Redfears'. It's a heavy train that conveys sand from an extraction site just east of King's Lyn to a glass factory at Monk Bretton near Barnsley. It is seen slogging up Stoke bank near the village of Westby lead by 66037 running as the 6E84 that left Middleton Towers at 08.20. It is usually a week day service only occasionally running on Saturdays as seen here.
