#SandTrainSunday comes from #Fenland this weekend as hired-in 60047 'Scafell Pike' was once again hauling DC Rail 6M89 from Middleton Towers to Chaddesden Sidings on Saturday morning. Seen passing Whittlesea after a very early departure from Norfolk & then being held at March. #DCR #TugWatch 6/12/25

The #SaturdaySandTrain once again. Hadn't been down here for a few weeks so i popped over to Ketton to catch 60029 'Ben Nevis' on DC Rail 6M89 Middleton Towers to Chaddesden Sidings, seen here approaching the foot crossing. #DCR #Rutland #TugWatch 23/8/25

A #BlueMonday yesterday evening. A nice bonus after work & a rare in these parts GB Railfreight 60026 'Helvellyn' passing Kettering some 36E as 0D60 Wembley Receptions 1-7 to Toton TMD after a short spell hired out to DC Rail, presume now returning to #GBRF..? #TugWatch #MML 21/7/25

#NoSandTrainSaturday After 60046 failed on 6L92 empties yesterday, newly hired-in 60026 'Helvellyn' went to March to drag the wagons & dead tug (out of shot on the rear) back to Chaddesden. DC Rail 6Z60 March Down R.S. to Chaddesden Sidings #DCR #Rutland #TugWatch 28/6/25

A day late posting for #TugTuesday at Leicester yesterday morning. DC Rail 60055 'Thomas Barnardo' runs through the station light engine working as 0A60 Chaddesden Sidings to Willesden DC Rail Sidings. #DCR #MML #TugWatch 24/6/25

#SandTrainSaturday from Whittlesey this lunchtime. Two shots of DC Rail 60055 'Thomas Barnardo' passing Whittlesea signalbox (as well as some of the soon-to-be-gone semaphores) with 6M89 Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings. #DCR #TugWatch #SemaphoreSaturday 15/3/25

#TugTuesday Another, closer view of the sand train passing Uffington at the weekend. #DCRail 60046 'William Wilberforce' eases 6M89 Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings away from a signal stop under the watchful eyes of 7 or 8 lineside photters. #TugWatch 14/12/24

Not the location i had intended for the #SaturdaySandTrain today, due to road closures & early running but managed to catch #DCRail 60055 'Thomas Barnardo' passing through #Rutland at Ashwell with 6M89 Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings. #TugWatch 30/11/24
