Going The Extra Mile
56103 and 56098 worked 6Z89 west from Melton Mowbray on 11 May 2024. On this occasion the 09:01 sand train from Middleton Towers was only running as far as Chaddesden Sidings in Derby and would continue to its final destination at Ravenhead Sidings later.When 56103 returned to traffic and worked a number of trains in the company of 56098, it seemed a no-brainer to try to get a shot, even if it did require a 300 mile round trip.
