Today I captured a load of great freight movements.
The Woodrow makes most of its money carrying passengers across the Woodrow plains from the towns to the sea and its only ever dealed in local freight but since the rise in fuel prices and the high cost of sending lorries across the winding county its actually become quicker and cheaper to send goods via the Woodrow so there has been a rise in goods movement.
The stuff witnessed here though is mainly empty wagon movements for tomorrow.
After testing a certain secret something we see Vincent at the Woodrow Halt junction about to propel a wagon along the Woodrow tramway to collect another wagon that was ued in the construction of the tramway but hasnt been moved since completeion many months ago (its true!)
Vincent is perfect for thsi kind of work with its massive buffers to prevent buffer locke on these tight curves when propelling
Down the gradient into a section of the line that is rarley seen.
Arriving at the underdeveloped yard and coupling up to th wagon which has become naturalley weathered from being left outside so long
preparing to leave
the heavy slog back up produces a heavy cloud of steam from Vincent funnel
