To get two moving trains passing on Ipswich's Bacon Factory Curve is extremely rare, even rarer is the appearance of the two uniquely-liveried LUL GBRf 66/7s that were destined to meet each other at this location between 12th-15th January. A late running 10:29 Felixstowe North to Birch Coppice, hauled by Class 66/7 No. 66721 meets an early running 03:50 Hams Hall to Felixstowe North hauled by classmate No. 66718. The latter train was released early from signal CO352 causing the photographer to hastily change position as the trains converged. Taken on 13th January 2016
