Had a busy night last night.When I got back to my base at 0530 today,the lock was frozen to the yard gates.Had to urinate over the lock to get in.Good job that worked othewise I would have to wait two hours for the day shift to arrive
Back in tonight for another 12 hour turn.These newer locomotives don't like cold weather.

Re: Cold night on the railway
Not looking too good there now.We are very busy,we have to be with few staff.Things are picking up fast.
Freightliners new locos are not working too good,one lasted a day and went bang.
Barry Cossletts collection is now in a custom built barn.Will take photos soon.
