66 on cement train 23 july 08

[wessexrailwaysdude]

hi people out there... need a little help on a observation. I filmed a Freightliner class 66 leaving Westbury Cement Works on Weds 23rd July 2008 but was unable to note its number as I filmed.

Does anyone know its number? It left Westbury Cement Works at 17:23 direct onto Westbury Avoiding line with a green light (so that means it would have been non-stop from Cement works and onto the line for Taunton the otherside of Westbury Stn) so would have been in Taunton about 6-ish.

If anyone knows its number can ya let me know so I can include it on the cred's for the video.

(Steam 35028 Clan Line by the way left Westbury on time all but a min late passing the same location at 17:50 the same day although sounded sick as it past me and was slow building up speed compared to normal)

Hi Wessexrailwaysdude, welcome to tha forum. Sorry I can't help with your question. Sorry to hear that Clan Line is sounding a bit sick. My first 00 gauge model was Clan Line. So I have a soft spot for it, apart from the fact that she is a darn fine looking loco.
I'm sure someone will be able to assist with your cement train question WRD. as we have a wealth of well informed members on the site.
