Colas Rail Freight Class 66/8 No. 66848 was summoned to assist Class 56/3 No. 56302 when it failed in the Preston area while in-charge of the 21:15 (Wed) Grangemouth Ineos to Sinfin Sidings loaded tanks on Thursday 7th August 2014. The duo are pictured running 207 minutes behind schedule restarting following a short stop near North Stafford Junction, Derbyshire with eight loaded TEA-type bogie tanks in tow conveying aviation fuel for Rolls Royce. No. 66848 later towed the errant Class 56 to Colas's Washwood Heath facility for attention.
