A sight now seemingly confined to the history books, 60044 'Dowlow' romps through Howsham on 21/09/20 working the 6M00 Humber to Kingsbury. The train, which comprised thirty loaded TEA tanks, is relatively easy work for the 'tug' as it powers through the Lincolnshire countryside.

Don't normally tweet about the football but so happy to see the mighty Liverpool FC lifting the first big silverware of the season, before Klopp hangs up his managerial gloves for good 🏆👏
