The early-Mid 90s. The Trainload Freight era
25th December 2008
<-- Index | Showing 1-24 of 53 pictures | Next -->
This period is best remembered for the Traiload Freight liveries, namely Coal, Petroleum, Construction, Distribution and Metals which gave the Railway a sense of identity with trains running with the correct 'Sector' Loco. The Civil engineer also had the 'Dutch' livery for its trains and the railway was a very clourful place to take photos. Add that to the Mainline, Transrail and Loadhaul liveries which followed and there was PLENTY to Fot prior to the EWS takeover that followed the Mid 90s
