Clay Loading at Rocks, today.
Craig Munday

Hi Keith, Out on the rounds earlier and the CDAs were being loaded at Rocks plant near Bugle. It's not often you see the wagon covers back, and the dumper truck tipping the clay powder in. Alex the diesel shunter was seen shuffling the wagons around the complex, including using the mid-way cross-overs in the loading bay area. 
Back at St Blazey sometime later, 66085 had brought the loaded JIA hoppers in from Treviscoe ready to form up the afternoon's 6C53 to Exeter Riverside. 
Cheers Craig .                Many thanks for these 'privilaged'  shots, Craig
