Scene from Healing station as dense diesel smoke heralds the progress of 56311 up gradient from Great Coates. 12/7/11


Picking up speed now and approaching Healing station. 12/7/11


This sleepy little station usually sees only passenger trains - it is rumoured that more such metal trains are planned.


Its load is clearly visible as the train heads towards Stallingborough.
