![Flasks arrive at the Heysham Power Stations, having been hauled down the line from Morecambe by DRS 20304. Heysham 1 is the building on the right of the picture, with Heysham 2 on the left, the latter accessed by a short branch worked by a Sentinel diesel shunter. The recently approved life extension of Heysham 2 to 2030 will keep the rail connections in use until at least that date. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 16/01/2007]](/images/22000/22629.jpg "Heysham Power Station")
![This is the actual nuclear flask used in the Old Dalby crash test in 1984, when <I>Peak</I> Class 46 No. 46009 and four coaches were deliberately crashed into the flask at 90mph. The loco and coaches were destroyed and cut up on site but the damage to the flask was limited to the bent cooling fins seen here and the sealed load area remained intact. The flask is now on display near the Visitor Centre at Heysham Power Station.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 26/08/2009]](/images/25000/25199.jpg "Heysham Power Station")
