66585 stabled on Saturday 5th July 2008 prepares to spend the weekend at Thoresby Colliery sidings. The two lines nearest the camera are those that originally lead to Ollerton, Tuxford & Lincoln. Until 2004 the line was still in use to High Marnham Power Station but has been out of use since then. The sidings beyond are used to run round and hold wagons for both Thoresby and Welbeck Collieries. Rumour has it the line to High Marnham is to re-open next year as a test track, maybe the signal in the foreground will once again see a train ?
