Posted for the photographer, Dennis Mitchell:
Just a couple of workings that I thought were "different".
This is class 15F Nos 3002 + 2986 arriving at Utrecht, crossing the Sand(?) River. These big mainline 4-8-2s are running on a branch line that had about 6 similar workings each day. Reason? There was a colliery (Umgala) at Utrecht that supplied coal to the steel works at the junction station at Newcastle.
It would be a bit like running double class 57s several times a day over the Dombarton - Moss Vale line in Australia!!
