Freightliner Class 66 66524 at Millbrook. I was surprised and pleased to see anything on a Sunday as some recent weekday casual visits have produced nothing. This vaguely arty shot was taken intentionally across the buddleia to soften the otherwise harsh urban environment. 200_3_P1060407R

Freightliner Class 66 66524 at Millbrook. I was surprised and pleased to see anything on a Sunday as some recent weekday casual visits have produced nothing. The locomotive has 'We're Recruiting' stickers on both sides. 200_3_P1060402R

Cross Country Class 221 Super Voyager 221140 passes Millbrook with the 1245 Bournemouth - Manchester Piccadilly (1315 ex Southampton Central). When I first saw the train approaching, I thought it had been attacked with paint but, as it passed, it seemed that it was perhaps just very frothy screenwash. 200_P1040351

Freightliner Class 66 66504 passes Millbrook with containers. Class 70 70020 can be glimpsed in the background. 200_P1040349

You can call it ugly but I like Class 70 (and the newer Class 68). The Freightliner livery does it some favours unlike that of Colas Rail. Here, 70020 stands at Millbrook FLT with containers. The locomotive was idling and I wondered if it was stuck in the terminal as work was going on at points adjacent to the station. 200_P1040345

Millbrook (Southampton) is familiar to many rail enthusiasts and a place where one could spend hours - if there were not other things to see nearby. Between visits to Totton and Eastleigh, I captured this scene which reflects the growing freight traffic of today. To the left are the container wagons hauled by 66061 (featured earlier) as it waits for the right away into Southampton Western Docks; Class 70 70020 stands in the Freightliner depot as Class 66 66504 passes with another long load of containers. 200_P1040347

Natural Habitat The main subject of my attention on a visit to Millbrook today was Freightliner Class 66 66587 which was manoeuvring back and forth as it formed its train. The pictures are not posted in order as I was using three cameras for various reasons. In this shot, the locomotive is briefly at rest between moves and the very solid architecture of the Solent Business Centre forms the background. X20_DSCF1977E

While I was watching movements at Millbrook Freightliner Terminal, Freightliner 66563 passed the station with down containers.. TZ30_P1010091

The pictures are not posted in order as I was using three cameras for various reasons. This shot was achieved far more by luck than skill as DBS 66096 passed the Freightliner locomotive. A little motion blur is visible and, had my usual straightening resulted in cropping of 096, I would not have been able to use the picture. TZ30_P1010090R
