6Z12 Alexandra Dock - Eastleigh, Romsey, 20th January 2018


This had started earlier as a triple header, as seen at Newport. 66011 came off at Westbury,

66168 + 66074
TIPH 78213 - TDA tanker
23.87.4384.032-0 - IPA quad (2+2) 4 wheel single deck car carriers (Cartic)
23.87.4384.034-6

6Z12 12:42 Newport Alexandra Dock Junction - Eastleigh Yard, via Chandler's Ford

Similar previous working on 4th November 2017.

66168 leads the train into Romsey, in very murky conditions, some 10 minutes before nominal sunset.

While 66168 is marked with 'DB', 66074 is still marked 'EWS'.

TIPH 78213, a TDA, is not a regular sight at Romsey, and may be heading for attention at one of the facilities in Eastleigh. Built by Marley Industrie in France in 1991-93, this has been active through South Wales on Westerleigh - Robeston tank traffic: one two three.
