A duo of Colas Rail Freight Class 56 locomotives No. 56094 and No. 56105 are pictured cautiously approaching North Stafford Junction, Derbyshire on Thursday 26th June 2014 powering working 6M65, 21:15 Grangemouth Ineos to Sinfin Sidings that consisted of eight green TEA-type bogie tank wagons conveying aviation fuel for the Rolls Royce plant in Derby. Since August 2013 Colas Rail Freight Class 56 locomotives have been regularly diagrammed as motive power for both this working and the return 6S96 discharged tanks but it is most unusual for a brace of locomotives to be provided with both providing power.
