Ashton Swing Bridge (Preston)

RSR Sentinel Energy trundles a rake of seven loaded tankers across the Preston Dock swing bridge towards the bitumen terminal. This is not the original Preston Dock loco of the same name but was previously Manchester Ship Canal MSC DH23, purchased by Ribble Rail in 2004. It can easily be recognised from a distance as it faces in the opposite direction to sisters Progress and Enterprise.
