60062 Coates 26 July 2022

60062 passes Coates in an unbelievably lucky patch of sun on 26 July 2022 with the 6M53 15:55 Swindon Stores to Toton Up Sidings steel empties. A few seconds later the sun disappeared behind a massive bank of clouds, not to reappear for some time. This was the first occasion that this loco had visited the area since having its extremely eye catching 'Steel on Steel' livery applied. As usual, it was running an hour early, and would get even earlier later on by missing out its booked stop in Haresfield loop.
