66186 1Z65 Salisbury-Blaenau Ffestiniog At Twerton Tunnel 4.5.09

A very early start on this bank holiday morning to see a peculiar site. A Class 66 on a railtour. In this neck of the woods, this is far from common.
66186, with Pathfinder headboard, powers out of Twerton Tunnel at 06.00 with 1Z65 Salisbury-Blaenau Ffestiniog.
The sun was not quite out enough, although you can see what I was trying to do with the glint...

Enjoy!

I do like this clip, early morning, a little bit dark still but you get the nice glow of the signals and it's lovely and quiet with hardly anyone going about :-)
