60026, having reversed off the Port of Boston siding
nearest the camera, now proceeds along the main line with
a train load of steel bound for the Round Oak Terminal at
Birmingham. An administrative error which did not allow

but the error was realised too late and trying to find a
suitable path meant it departed over three hours late ! |
