"I couldn't believe it! Four Class 66 locomotives come along just as I was about to go home.

on the 27th June 2014. Leaning on a section of white wooden platform fencing I gazed across the nearby countryside, trying to decide whether or not to make tracks (no pun intended) for home, when a flicker of movement off to my left caught my attention.

I was at the 'London' end of platform two

Looking up I saw a Class 66 diesel locomotive slowly moving along the freight-only line towards me. "This will do" I thought. "I'll grab a photo of this and then head home.

Great! I thought. A good photo to end the day with. But there was more to come.

But, as the loco, GBRf Class 66717 '' got closer, I realised that it was not on its own. It was, or so I believed, double-heading with GBRf Class 66729 '.

In the middle of what I soon discovered was a fairly long train, GBRf Class 66738 ' was now passing in front of me. "This has to be a it" I said aloud to myself. As there was a bend in the track at that location I did not have a clear view.

Lo and behold there was still one more Class 66 to come. The tail-end-Charlie turned out to be, Class 66731 'interhub GB'.

In my excitement to capture all four locos, I was sure that I'd hurried the whole thing and the images would not turn out to be as good as I hoped.





However, seeing them on the pc monitor later that evening I was glad that I did stay at Wellingborough station for those extra few minutes. Phew!
