David Whittaker comments "Looks like 3E30 09.51 Scotswood (Newcastle) to Holloway stock train, a 12-14 hour meander up the ECML, attaching and detaching stock en-route. Interestingly, 60038 ( no shedplate) was a Leeds (Holbeck) engine at the time. The other point of interest appears to be three axle milk tank wagons behind the engine. Something, I personally, never saw on this train".
