Rose Grove

Colas 70805 takes the bitumen tank empties from Preston Dock through Rose Grove on 22nd November 2023. The train is heading for Gannow Junction and then the climb to Copy Pit on the way to Haverton Hill, which has been supplying some of the product recently rather than Lindsey near Immingham. Sixty years earlier this view would have been towards Rose Grove shed, just beyond the treeline. Those trees now screen the M65 Motorway.
