The Highlander Goes Off-Piste At Crewe
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92043 "50 Years Service - Andy Withers" makes a rare foray into Platform 1 at Crewe with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25) on 25/26 October 2023.
The earlier derailment of Freightliner's 4M63 blocking the south end of Basford Hall yard was meaning freight trains were needing to pass through the station rather than via the Independent Lines. That said, with the usual 'Plan B' Platform 12 vacant throughout - and passengers originally being directed there - it was a mystery as to why Crewe Box held 1S25 outside the station for 36 minutes, then ultimately put it into Platform 1.

      JNAs can hold a payload of c.80 tonnes, so 23 wagons is something like 1,800 tonnes. Add in the weight of the wagons themselves and you’re looking at a 2,300+ tonne train.

    • @DysonTim
      @DysonTim 2 роки тому

      A standard 66 would struggle due to some of the gradients on the route. A 70 would be fine - as per the video description the 66/6 is DIT (not powering) and it’s just the 70 doing the work here. The 66/6 was in the consist for insurance as it was the first trial run. Also meant it was already on the wagons when this “double train” split at Wembley Yard to go to its respective destinations.
