A Dying Breed
Power station coal was once the mainstay of rail freight in the UK but those days are long gone and total extinction can't be far away. The coal trains were running on 18 March 2022 when 66780 passed Brocklesby Junction with 6M81, the 13:45 from Immingham Import Terminal to Ratcliffe Power Station.
