Preston

66060 and 66013 haul a rake of empty coal wagons back to Scotland, to be refilled for the power stations of the north of England. Seen on the southern approach to Preston in April 2007. This could perhaps be classed as Lost Railfreight but of course coal traffic has disappeared almost completely in the UK rather than being transferred feom rail to the roads. #COP26
