66066 pulls away from Luton's platform 1 and moves forward to Luton Crescent Road Sidings with the 6C70 0034 Peak Forest Cemex
Sidings to Luton Limbury Road stone train. The normal route for this train wouldn't normally see it passing through Luton station, as it
usually passes Limbury Road Sidings (north of Luton) on the up slow, then reverses in at Limbury Road South Ground Frame. On this day,
due to ongoing engineering works, the ground frame was out of action and the train had to reverse at Luton Crescent Road, then be
dragged back to near Leagrave on the down slow, before entering Limbury Road Sidings at the north end from the down slow. For this
reason, the train ran to Crescent Road to have a drag back loco attached for the move towards Leagrave. At this point I had no clue as
to what the drag back loco would be, but it was the reason I was there, as it would be something interesting as it was coming from
Leicester. In the event, it actually turned out to be two locos - 37601 and 37884.
