Guess the freight location

[33056]

No, going in the right direction now think of somewhere with water......

 

[ole man]

Kings Lynn?

 

[33056]

Kings Lynn?

Not far away at all but the mystery location is not on the same line.......

A further clue, the photo was taken from a railtour.

 

[Track Basher]

Fletton

 

[ole man]

Bury St Edmunds??

 

[33056]

Not Fletton or Bury St. Edmunds, getting further away again.

 

[ole man]

Middleton Towers?

 

[33056]

Not Middleton Towers, let's try another picture - it is of the other facility that I mentioned that is at the mystery location.

Snailwell?

 

[Temple Meads]

Cardiff Tidal?

You've even taken the description from the photo on your site, that or it never had one

That would make it too easy if I put the captions on Neither picture has had a description whilst it has been on Zenfolio (but did when they were on Fotopic, not that it is any help now!).

Not Snailwell or Cardiff Tidal, here is another picture showing the loco on the train; if that doesn't give the location away then I don't know what else to offer as a clue.

Still Haven't a clue, let's try Pigs Bay at Shoeburyness ?

 

[33056]

No, not Pigs Bay.

Let's try some non railway clues;
The town that the location is in has a namesake in America, it also has a "stump"

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Boston.


Floor open.

 

[33056]

At last

The original picture showed the Lafarge sidings in Boston Docks, the other two were of the steel terminal. I have a picture of another location in mind but will let somebody else have a go now.

 

[blackettstreet]

if someone knows it just carry on cos i can only check once a day

by the way, ive been away for a bit but good to see this thread generate some interest!

 

[Track Basher]

I would say Dollands Moor

 

[blackettstreet]

I would say Dollands Moor

this might be harder than i anticipated

 

[northernrail]

Tyne Yard?

 

[blackettstreet]

Tyne Yard?

not that either but nice idea

Bescot definitely, with the River Tame and the M6 also putting in an appearance.

Open floor
