On my first visit to Bedford (formerly Midland) station in about ten years, they kindly released this freight train early so I could watch it leave before I caught my return train. 6D17 from Mountsorrel to Elstow was headed by a rather rusty 66619. The wagons were heavily graffitied, but at least the replacement driver looked smart.
