I get a wave and a huge horn blow from my son and favorite train driverologist as he flies by at the controls of Class 66 no. 66737 at the head of a regular scheduled 'General Merchandise' freight train, number '4M19' hauling multimodal (road/ship/rail) containers. Train weight that day was 1,200 tonnes. I could see that the train had been pathed (all lights set to green) straight through Oxford here https://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/oxford#T_OXFD. so I suspected he'd be going at a clip, - N8 at 65mph I found out later (N8 or Notch 8 is the highest power setting out of 8 positions). Train runs between Southampton Western docks and East Midlands gateway - happy days! :)
