Birch Coppice Exchange Sidings
I thought the practice of stabling engines at rural locations overnight faded out with branch lines, but look what I found in March 2009 - on a branch line! Nine months later, Fastline Freight have lost this contract, and the Volkswagen Group car parts warehouse in the background is no longer supplied by rail. But on a recent visit, I found this terminal busier than ever. Two FL 66's with headlights on looked great through the viewfinder, but awful on screen. Must go back!
