The 07.05 from Merehead Quarry to Acton Yard (7A09) is one of the heaviest freight trains in the country. Some 3000+ tonnes of freshly cut stone weave their way through the Somerset countryside in 45+ wagons, hauled by a Class 59 loco.
Our DVD looks at some of the heaviest and longest freight trains in Britain today.
With seven different types of diesel loco, a wide variety of train types are featured: from Class 47 hauled Freightliners, to Class 56 hauled MGRs to Class 60 hauled tankers to Class 66 hauled car-trains.
In total, 50 different locos are featured, wearing 15 different liveries and filmed from 30 different locations.
Brand new footage, filmed 2000-2002.
So, take a look at the current freight scene in this country and remember it's not normal freight... this is BIG FREIGHT!
