60016 rumbles past Marsh Road, Middlesbrough with 6M46 1108 Redcar BSC Mineral Terminal-Hardendale lime empties on 09/07/2003. This train would be combined with that shown in the next photograph at Tees Yard before continuing on to its destination of Hardendale Quarry near Shap on the WCML.
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.
