66433, 08.47 Tilbury FLT-DIRFT (4M07, 51E), site of Roade station
With the remnants of last night's snowfall still evident through the fog 66433 'Carlisle Power Signal Box 50th Anniversary 1973-2023' passes Roade working the 4M07 08.47 Tilbury to Daventry Tesco Express.

This DRS operated is the balancing working to the train photographed in the previous image and goes through phases of being electrically hauled but more normally is seen with a Class 66 at the front.
