This part III in the "Peak Forest Quarry" "series" Another few days just keeps bringing more and more freight trains, empty or loaded. The second Sunday of the holiday and I venture out of an amazing footpath along the side of Tunstead Quarry, It's incredible to see the vast scale of the quarry from up high.
Monday 26 June I decided to look for a path that I saw in a old video filmed in 1990 on KZfaq around Peak Forest quarry, I picked the start of the path up just a little further up the road from the DB Schenker depot, It run parallel to the tracks running down the hill towards Tunstead Quarry, across a new wooden bridge that crosses a little mini gorge, I stopped opposite DB's sidings and watched the trains roll in.
First what comes down the hill but a Freightliner with its many a decorated wagons, then shortly after that a DB red 66 and a full rake of red wagons.
A little lite engine and then a GBRF 66 stops in front of me and reverses into Cemex quarry. Finishing of another amazing day was the usual class 60 from Tunstaed and the shortly after that another GBRF (pos an ex DRS loco) but this time a loaded one. Enjoy
