When will 66721 "Harry Beck" depart with a sand train from Leziate Quarry?

[Ed Jacks]

Saw this, this morning in Kings Lynn, locomotive 66721 "Harry Beck" hauling an empty sand train to Leziate Quarry.

Harry Beck designed the first understandable London Tube Map, and whilst the design has not changed there have of course been deletions and additions, the latest of course being the Crossrail section.

If anyone has an idea what time the loco will depart from Leziate, I would be pleased to know.

My camera was set on close up so by the time I sorted it I just got 3 frames off. This is the first.

What on earth does any of this mean... is this a Class 66 loco??

Even if it was an empty train - it is still a great feat for a man to haul it!

I presume that you meant 66721. www.realtimetrains.co.uk will give you the times

Would be nice if we could have a more descriptive title though

Earlier maps were perfectly understandable, but the outstanding feature of Beck's map was that it was diagrammatic and not geographic. That in turn created problems, where locations that were close together on the ground appeared further apart on the diagram. The design has changed since Beck's time, though the principle of a diagrammatic approach remains.

Would it really have been too difficult to link to the actual location? How do you expect someone who calls it Leziate Quarry to know it is Middleton Towers?

Today's arrivals and departures at Middleton Towers are:

I'm assuming it worked 6E88 and that had departed prior to this thread being created.

Yes it would have been difficult as I haven't a clue where Leziate Quarry is

I don't know if he had an engineering background, but the Tube map is based on an electric circuit diagram where all lines are either horizotal, vertical or at 45 degrees. This leads to a very clear layout, much replicated.

I have edited the thread title to comply with our Forum Rules requiring thread titles to be descriptive.

As this is a request for timings for when a particular locomotive is hauling a service, I have moved it to the appropriate forum.
