They can be found on many workings for DBS to/from the refineries of North East Lincolnshire most days. Typical destinations are Kingsbury (Staffordshire), Westerleigh (nr Bristol) and Colnbrook (for Heathrow).

Assuming you are talking about the DB examples:

- coal from Liverpool Bulk terminal to Fiddlers Ferry/Ratcliffe power stations

- petroleum products from Humberside refineries (Lindsey/Humber) to
oil terminals at Kingsbury, Westerleigh, Rectory Junction, Preston, Jarrow.

- iron ore from Immingham to Santon(Scunthorpe)

- steel from Immingham to Wolverhampton

- steel from South Wales to Dee Marsh/Hartlepool/Wolverhampton (duties shared with 66s)

- petroleum products from Robeston oil terminal to oil terminals at Westerleigh, Theale and Bedworth.

- limestone from Tunstead to Northwich/Hindlow/Pendleton

- limestone from Peak Forest to Salford, Leeds, Selby, etc.


There are a few more obscure workings, but the above
list covers 95% of their typical duties.

You missed the Theale-Robeston bogie tanks, this has always been a 60 when I've seen it recently.
