Hanson's Class 59 diesel - 59101 'Village of Whatley' - accelerates through the outskirts of Frome with the 7A09 loaded stone train from Merehead Quarry to Acton Yard. Sometimes referred to as 'Jumbo', these very long trains are divided at Acton for onward delivery to distribution sites around London and the South east.
