At this spot the nearby barriers descending are normally the first indication that a train is imminent. Not with this baby, it could be heard a good two minutes prior as it pounded out of Nottingham with it's full load of imported steel. 56311 emerges through the fog having just passed through Attenborough station on 6Z57 the 06.19 SO Immingham Nordic Dock to Washwood Heath, Metro Cammell. It is running a little late as the time is 9.20 on Saturday 29th November 2008. Photo taken by my son, Scott Illingworth.
