Reid Freight has collected more of the 12 scrapped Class 60s bought by Land Recovery from DB Cargo.
The moves run from Toton to Uttoxeter, where the lorry waits in a parking area on the central reservation of the A50 until they can be moved forward to Alsager (RAIL 1013).
This recess is to wait for the Staffordshire Police to escort the 200-tonne loads to Radway Green. The site now has track panels laid out for the locomotives.
On June 28, 60089 was collected. It was followed by the sixth of the Class 60s (60052), which left Toton on July 5 and spent the weekend in Uttoxeter.
On July 9, 60012 was collected. After an overnight in Staffordshire, it moved to Radway Green on July 10, while on July 11, 60084 was moved.
Moved on July 9 from the sidings in Toton Yard to the adjacent depot, ready for collection by road, were 60036/037/077. That leaves just 60068 to be extracted from the yard for its imminent collection.
Previously moved had been 60032, 60048, 60093 and 60078.
