60056 passes Cargo Fleet on 09/07/2003 with 6N32 1159 Lackenby-Tees NY lime empties. This train is attached to 6M46 at Tees NY and then continues on to Hardendale Quarry.
More lime empties are pictured passing Cargo Fleet on 09/07/2003 as Lackenby steelworks emits another load of pollution into the atmosphere. This time 60071 works the WFO 6G92 1328 Redcar BSC Mineral Terminal-Tees NY. A redundant set of MGR coal hoppers is utilised for this flow. The empty hoppers would go forward to Carlisle as 6Z92 1750 Tees NY-Carlisle NY on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and then as 6P54 0450 Carlisle NY-Shap (Harrisons) early on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. After loading, the hoppers would return to Teeside as 7Z55 0918 Shap-Tees NY where they would recess until Wednesday and Friday mornings respectively when they would form 7G55 0948 Tees NY-Redcar. A complicated set of workings for essentially an 'out & back' working.
60098 and its train of lime etys passes Tyne Yard with 6Z92 1750 MWO Tees NY-Carlisle Yard. The train consists of MGR coal hoppers that have found a new lease of life conveying lime from Cumbria to Teeside for use in the steel making process.
