Summary[edit]

Description
English: Aggregate train to London, near Crofton. These trains are a regular feature on this line as they haul limestone from quarries in Somerset to the roadstone plants in places like Hayes. This one was fully laden and wasn't travelling very fast. I've taken several photos of these trains of which this is my favourite 406394 In the background is the Crofton pumping station chimney 406464 The locomotive is a Class 59 diesel built in North America by a General Motors division, Electro-Motive Diesel (sold by GM in 2005). As well as being powerful they are very reliable, which is largely why the roadstone companies purchased them in preference to the then British Rail's locomotives.
