Description
The West Coast Main Line Freight Trains by Jonathan Lewis Amberley Publishing, 2018 The West Coast Main Line is a vital transportation artery linking London to the North West and Scotland. Its rail freight traffic is dominated by container cargo, with many shipments originating from southern ports such as Southampton and Felixstowe. In addition, domestic containers are transported from Daventry to Scotland. The line also carries a variety of other goods, including cars, cement, china clay, coal, limestone, nuclear flasks, oil, steel, and timber. Royal Mail trains link London, Warrington, and Glasgow on this route. The line features several freight yards at key locations, including Wembley, Crewe, Warrington, Carlisle, and Mossend. Freight locomotives operating on the West Coast Main Line include a range of diesel and electric models from various operators.
