The first rake of empty bitumen tanks going into storage at the former MOD site, just over the border into Scotland, seen near Wilpshire summit on the Blackburn - Hellifield line behind 56 049 'Robin of Templecombe'. The second and last rake will follow in February. This traffic will now come over the Pennines in road tankers and the line from Blackburn to Todmorden has no regular freight traffic.
