This has worked this afternoon on a Worksop to Worksop out and back to Woodhouse, Sheffield. It was operated by Harsco. Does anybody know what this was, I viewed it at a distance working back into Worksop Yard. My original thought was it was a Stoneblower but it could have been a grinder? This headcode isn't listed on site though.

I guess logically it should be 79266&79276; but this is the railways we're talking about....
I know that has been reported at Worksop having maintenance. Twice I been to try to see it in the yard before and there has not been any sign of it. But I thought I'd seen somewhere this machine wasn't at Worksop any longer ?
79266/276 has been out and about recently...

Was supposed to have gone down to Dollands Moor (and thence back to Mainland Europe) that same night in the consist of the Scunthorpe steel, but not sure whether this happened or not.

The lack of reports at specific points in the Doncaster area, and the late departure would suggest that it did.
Can I submit a sighting for this then at Worksop back in October ? It would fill a gap for me on here. I had seen the machine prior to export but not recorded my sighting on OTP.
6U06 is EU1 rail grinder and has been sold to the Czech republic.
