In connection with the engineering work on the ECML over the weekend of 28th/29th October 2011 there was a procession of engineering trains booked to work between Toton and the Grantham area. Only one was booked to run on the morning shift and this is it. Having taken the Grantham line at Netherfield Junction No. 66005 is seen passes Rectory Junction, Nottingham heading 6G06 the 12.02 Toton - Stoke Tunnel with a sizeable load of new concrete sleepers in tow. No. 66005 had temporarily replaced one of the DBS 'Eurosheds' in the previous week on the sandite duty and as a consequence is looking very scruffy as it is seen running 36 early in lovely sunlight at 12.27 on Saturday 29th October 2011.
