Toot

Written by Mark Kirschstein on 2024-11-06 at 19:25

Today is the 3rd anniversary of my father dying. His employer named one of their locos after him (sort of, they spelled the bloody surname wrong, but anyway...)

This evening I've been googling and found train spotters photos and videos of the loco in action.

One day I'd quite like to see "dad" in the wild as it were, do any #train or #rail enthusiasts know where I might find the timetable for him?

DRS Class 66 - 66425 Nigel J Kirchstein(sic)

@markkirschstein RTT is my go to site for train tracking, not sure if you can track a specific locomotive though - maybe if you know a previous run you could check the same time again to see if it always does the same route?
