It arrived as part of a convoy - 66051, 66154, 66145 & 60009, the working was 6O26 10.48 Hinksey Yard - Eastleigh Yard. Incidentally, the 'North Yard' has always been referred to as 'East Yard', something to do with LSWR or SR policy, all signalboxes, yards, junctions were referred to as either 'east' or 'west', which pertained to their location in regard to Waterloo station, so Eastleigh North Yard is East Yard, as if a straight line was drawn between Weymouth and Waterloo, the yard is east ON THAT (imaginary) line. If you see what I mean...
By the way, 60009 appeared at Eastleigh AGAIN yesterday (Monday 25th), hauling 6O41 10.14 Westbury Yard - Eastleigh East Yard, with 59203 as part of the load; 60009 worked back to Westbury yard with 6V41, the afternoon return working. I'll be putting the pics on my Fotopic site later today at:-

I might even put a couple in the Gallery!
