Freightliner Class 66/6 No. 66603 is seen approaching Drakelow East Curve Junction on the Burton-on-Trent to Knighton Junction, Leicester freight route on Thursday 28th February 2013 in charge of train 6D78, the 06:59 (TTHo) Willesden Euroterminal to Bardon Hill Quarry, which is comprised of a rake of empty open wagons for loading with aggregates at the Leicestershire quarry. This once busy route now carries very little traffic and therefore this twice-weekly train is currently the only regular working on the Burton-on-Trent to Bardon Hill section except for the diagrammed movements of London Underground S-stock units to and from Old Dalby.
