Hincaster Junction
90015, recently transferred from Greater Anglia passenger duties to Freightliner (and still carrying 'Colchester Castle' plates), passes over the disused canal tunnel at Hincaster on 28th November 2020. This was an infrastructure train carrying steel sleepers from Crewe to Carlisle. It is unusual to see such trains hauled by a single electric loco but it was reportedly covering for a failed DRS Class 68. The old horse path passes under the railway through two small bridges on the left of the picture and goes over this hill before rejoining the canal by the western portal.
