A lucky catch today during a shift on the Kingmoor Yard pilot. Shortly after a torrential downpour three Colas Railfreight class 56's arrived in Kingmoor Yard Timber Terminal having been moved from Kingmoor Yard Up Recess Sidings. 56 090 was showing due an A exam so was no doubt awaiting the arrival of the "Man in a van" from Boden Rail Engineering while the other pair (56 049 & 051) had worked north on Thursday 22nd with 7Z77 a snowplough move from Doncaster to MOD Eastriggs before returning light to Kingmoor Yard, this pair were for fuelling as Colas have a locomotive fuel point adjacent to the timber sidings. After taking the shot it struck me this could well be the last time I see three Colas class 56's coupled and running. The operational fleet seems to have shrunk to possibly 4 or 5 locomotives from the info I have to hand so this view is over 50% of the companies active members still in traffic.
