The flatlands of the Fens are perfect for wind turbines and they are springing up all over the region. Also sending out a strong green message is Freightliner’s No. 66536, which is pounding the track at Funthams Lane level crossing, Kings Dyke, on June 25th, 2006, with a well loaded 4L85 08.37 Leeds to Felixstowe container service. The Class 66/5 is showing its plain side to the photographer - that with the centre door makes for a much more interesting picture!
