I don't think the word 'steam' is in RTT's vocabulary!

Thanks guys!

I'm sure RTT always states its a "Diesel locomotive and XXX amount of tonnes" when it is really a Steam loco.

I don't think the word 'steam' is in RTT's vocabulary!

Neither is "Tamper". You can go out for a train that according to RTT is a "Diesel locomotive hauling 715 tonnes" and an 80-tonne Tamper turns up! Had it loads of times.

It's because the info comes from TRUST - a system which says things are a diesel locomotive which are not.

Not exactly the most appropriate name then?

My Facebook feeds are saying the loco is 44932 (expected to be).

Very rare to see a southbound steam train over the S&C that early in the morning! New photo opportunities, would be helpful though if the sun would come out when it was supposed to.
