Southern Railway 313201 & EWS 66069 at Day's siding - Newhaven - 21.5.2014

Southern Railway 313201 & EWS 66069 at Day's siding - Newhaven - 21.5.2014
Southern Railway 313201 forming the 11.58am from Seaford to Brighton, passing EWS 66069 waiting to take an empty aggregates train from Day's Aggregates siding, at Newhaven, to Acton. The driver of yesterday's trip told friends of mine that the load originated from Dagenham. We had thought that the traffic ran the other way, with the aggregates coming from dredging off the coast here. How wrong was that! Mind you we did wonder how it got from the quayside across a road and on to the train.
The other use of this siding is for the removal of bottom ash from the refuse incinerator. Those trains run at night.

On a grey day, the trains' colours do create a good contrast.
