Train enthusiasts from across the country enjoyed a one-off treat at the weekend when local quarry operator Tarmac gave special permission for UK Rail Tours to run a Charter Train, The Cottam Farewell, into its railhead at Barrow-upon-Soar. The railhead is the sidings area next to the main line, where empty southbound trains stop to be loaded and weighed.
