Now Stratford in E.London is not near a coal mine or a power station so the last type of freight train
you would expect to see there is a coal train...but this is one. Its the Avonmouth to Foxton that could only be seen
in the evening...Mondays only maybe.. and a picture like this could only be taken during longer days. The setting sun
highlights the coal hoppers nicely as they make their way to the sugar beat factory near Cambridge in the late Spring of 2002
with an EWS class 66 in charge.
