Title: Weed Killer Express
Post by: Summicron on October 20, 2008, 06:32:33 PM
Two class 20s at Manchester Victoria station, before the station was redeveloped into a concrete underpass. The engines were originally used on MGR merry go round trains hauling coal from the pit to the power stations, these locos always worken in pairs, they now are used for spraying weed killer on the tracks, and by Direct Rail Services, for transporting nuclear flasks around the country. Called, choppers, these engines sound like helicopters.

Interesting work for sure.  Are they plackcarded forwhat they haul?  Here in N.America they need to be because of the hazzard involved.

Good picture.
