A great day out in the Cornish sunshine with the @networkrail freight team. Included a visit to the turntable at Blazey and a trip to @ImerysPA at Carne Point aboard @DBCargoUK 66131. @railexpress @Modern_Railways

@SimonZev @supaned @Ogilvie_CJ Yes - Pan can be raised or lowered on the move with Class 88’s. Engine can be fired up on the move, be idling until the pan is lowered. Driver switches over to engine mode and vice versa. Class 88’s with the Pan up, or in engine mode can also work in multi with a Class 68 👌🏼.

Starting to get in festive mood with this shot from the appropriately named St Nicholas Bridges in Carlisle; doesn’t have a date but I think it might be January 1987 (although on that basis it’s still remarkably blue)

I went for a ride in a freight train cab from Daventry to Crewe with @DRSgovuk driver Jim Cockburn-Powell, transporting @sainsburys goods bound for Scotland, to learn how rail is essential for supplies.

Whilst most people are still sleeping, @GBRailfreight are still moving goods up and down the country at top speed - and are hauling more than ever before right now, thanks partly to a crippled road haulage industry...

Many years ago a GWR customer blow dried their hair on the train. Unfortunately It didn’t go down very well with her fellow passengers. #TrueStory
