A pretty straightforward F3/4 shot of Freightliner 'Shed' 66524 heading north at Elford taken back in 2013.
The image however records a freight traffic that has all but disappeared from the UK network, while serving a facility that closed in 2016 and which has now been almost fully demolished in favour of what's expected to become a residential development. The train is the 8.17am Rugeley Power Station - Doncaster Yard (4Z41) coal empties.
