672U 0855 Guide Bridge B'sde Sdgs to Carnforth Btm End Ce Sdg

[Plethora]

Good morning,

First time poster on these forums, long time lurker.

I spotted something yellow and slightly unusual looking moving across towards Philips Park Junction this morning. Unfortunately due to my location I only caught the top parts of the cab as it was over the crest of the hill from my tram stop. I'm used to seeing freight at this time of the morning, but this seemed to be a loco only (though again I may be mistaken due to my location)

RTT indicates it's a movement to Carnforth, so I assume it might be something quite interesting. Does anyone know what it might be?

I can't confirm this, but the service code indicates it could've been on track plant owned by SB Rail, and their track machines are yellow, too...

Looking at the start and finish locations it will have been an otm.

For those unfamiliar, otm means 'on track machine'.
