60035 passes at 09:06 with 6E46 Kingsbury - Lindsey oil tanks.
60035 has not been overhauled, only repaired, and was returned to traffic at the start of October, being noted as a yard shunter by 10th of month, then later allocated to pool WCAI (DB Schenker Industrial Class 60). It is understood to still have a coolant leak that it was stored for in 2009. After time on shed on Tuesday at IM where it was reported N/CLK (coolant leak), it then returned later in the day to Kingsbury where it is now reported to be failed again. UPDATE: Sent to Toton, then back into storage.
