Class 66/7 No. 66720 at Northfleet riverside unloading site, this was originally the Blue Circle Cement works, with the tracks being the MGR circuit. The area is now owned by Lafarge, and in the background is the River Thames, with Tilbury Docks beyond. On arrival the lead loco is detached and coupled to the empties which it then pulls forward to allow the loaded ones to be pushed into place by the rear loco. This engine is then attached to the rear of empties for the return trip.
