Severn Tunnel Junction

66082 is seen on the 6S55 Burngullow to Irvine clay slurry service passing Severn Tunnel Junction station on 19th March 2003. This was once the longest distance freight train that ran in the UK. Pairs of Class 37s from St Blazey worked the train throughout until Class 66s took over. The clay slurry traffic from Cornwall ceased many years ago.
