The leaves are almost gone from the trees as 66 523 powers southwards through Elford, near Tamworth with a loaded train of coal bound for Rugeley power station

Catching the last rays of winter sunshine, 66 523 heads south through Elford with the late running 6M49 1241 Barrow Hill - Rugely PS loaded coal hoppers

Freight trains are often looped in the sidings here to allow passengers trains to pass. 170 523 heads south towards Tamworth

Definately the last shot of the day. In failing light, 66 069 heads north through Elford with the 4M33 0810 Southampton - Burton on Trent liners
