Local Stone
The line through Melton Mowbray sees plenty of stone trains with DBC, DCR, Freightliner and GBRf all participating. Trains can originate from as far away as Dowlow, near Buxton, or Moreton-on-Lugg, north of Hereford, but some come from local Leicestershire quarries.66185 was barely 12 miles into its journey to Barham, north of Ipswich, with 6L42, the 10:07 from Mountsorrel Sidings, when it was photographed west of Melton on 29 September 2025.
