Dowlow Briggs Stone Working, Saturday 27th February 2016

I think for the first time working on a Saturday. The working had come south from Dowlow Briggs Siding to Wembley on 26th with 66130.

The train consist was of 14 JNA wagons, this 34xx batch being converted from 8xxxx series TEA bogie tank wagons by Marcroft in 1998 for Railtrack usage under CAIB ownership. The current owner is VTG and these appear to be in use in Tunstead and related diagrams. Leader of this batch 3400 is pictured. Some more details on the type in this accident report.

The last wagon was 3452.

The return working ran early on its first leg, and was approaching Eastleigh, on the new track, at 14: 48.

The subject here is 3411. with 3412 preceding.
