Hitching A Ride
6V18 didn't need the combined power of 66.087 and 59.206 to haul 18 empty hoppers, so it's likely that the 59 was hitching a ride back to the Mendips to save a light engine path. The 11:20 stone empties from Allington to Whatley Quarry was photographed passing through Sonning Cutting on 18 July 2016.
