Rail Freight at Hellifield Station on Fri 11th March 2011.

Here is my footage of the freight movements at Hellifield Station on the afternoon of Friday 11th March 2011.
1, 0:08 DBS Class 66183 is seen departing Hellifield Station with the 6E13 New Biggin to Milford empty gypsum containers.
2. 1:56 DBS Class 66055 is seen passing through Hellifield with the 6K05 Carlisle Yard to Crewe Basford Hall Departmental train.
3 & 4. 3:36 Colas Rail Class 66843 is seen arriving and departing 5:13 Hellifield with the 6J37 Carlisle Yard to Chirk loaded timber.
5. 7:59 DBS Class 66186 is seen passing north through Hellifield with the 4S93 Milford to New Cumnock empty coal hopper working.
I had planned to film at other locations but the rain put a dampner on things and I ended up filming at Hellifield with the bonus of the cafe.
Hope you enjoy.

Excellent! It's always been raining when I've visited Hellifield and the café has always been closed! Very atmospheric video with excellent clarity and impressive sound - I thoroughly enjoyed watching the railway at work. Well done! Shows we shouldn't give up when it rains!
