A brighter summer's afternoon in 2000 as a fresh looking 60033 "Tees Steel Express" powers through on steel slabs from Scunny for export.
60046 "William Wilberforce" is again hiding on an empty MGR, also from Scunthorpe to Immingham Bulk Terminal.
#BSMRGUK
It's Y2K and this afternoon's showers begin to clear this evening, so it's a stroll down towards Wrawby Junction.
Missed what was on the steel slabs from Scunny to Immingham, but I can just make out a Transrail 60 awaiting a signal on the slow line.
