Rail Grinder
I usually ignore track machines but rail-grinders are very impressive beasts and justify a photo. DR79501 - DR79507 waited in Platform 7 at Reading before leaving for Bletchley on the evening of 16 February 2025. The working was 4Q03, the usual headcode for this machine, an 18:56 from Reading Triangle Sidings.
