17/01/09 at 08:57 Freightliner Pulling A Huge Oil Tank Rake Through Lincoln

A picture taken by myself not so long ago on a very cool January afternoon. A Freightliner is pulling a huge rake of oil tankers, it took ages to pull through. The train has just left Lincoln station and is taking the dividing line to Newark and onto the East Coast Mainline, the feather is clearly seen for the junction.

Train Information

A Class 66 which is a common sight on the rail network. The train is pulling a really long rake of fuel tankers from the ports in the North Sea, through Lincoln to some place within the UK.

Photo Information

Taken by myself, its one of those photos which ends up being a snapped shot that turns out pretty good. There is quite a bit of noise since it is shot at ISO 1600, I didn't realise the the setting I had it on. There is a second shot which I am going to show in a couple of weeks from this shooting period. I had to wait ages for this train to turn up. I saw the lights change about 10 minutes before it arrived.
