37401 'Mary Queen of Scots' was bringing 1 empty PFA wagon from Sellafield to Crewe.
I was just expecting a quick pass, but got more than I bargained for, when the class 37 rolled slowly into view, and slowed even more before coming to a halt, just a few yards before the station and the 4 track section.
With a pendolino coming to a stop behind it, it was about 10 minutes, before the vintage 37, erupted into life again, and managed to limp on to the slow line, and towards Hartford Junction.
An hour later class 68, 68016 'Fearless' arrived from Crewe on 0Z99 to rescue it.It can then be seen ( through all the metal work ) manouervering across the tracks, to couple onto 37401, before heading back to Crewe, 100 minutes after the 37 first arrived at Acton Bridge.
