GBRf 66727 is seen easing it's train over the pointwork of Bagworth Junction. It has just departed from the Cliff Hill Stud Farm quarry loading facility, with the 6G16 1148 Stud Farm GBRF - Bescot Engineers Sidings.
The train will run over part of the Leicester and Swannington Railway, opened in 1833 and one of the first railways in England, to join the Midland Main Line at Knighton Junction, Leicester. The Midland Railway bought out the L&SR in 1847 and it eventually formed part of the MR's route from Leicester to Burton-Upon-Trent.
I should add that this must have been one of the most dangerous locations I've ever stood to take a photo; lorries were thundering along this narrow B-road and bridge every few seconds, just inches behind me!
