DB Schenker Class 66 No. 66047 heads north through Burton-on-Trent on 21st August 2012 powering 6E54, 10:40 Kingsbury Oil Sidings to Humber Oil Sidings, which comprises 30 discharged oil tank wagons that are returning to the north Lincolnshire oil refinery. The perspective of the photograph clearly illustrates the curvature of the track work around the island platforms of Burton-on-Trent railway station, which imposes a 50 miles per hour speed restriction on both the up and down main lines.
