Don't forget the Cliffe (Kent) - Uddingston (Glasgow) cement train of the early '60s, which traversed the ECML. This was a pair of Class 33s throughout.

G'Day Gents
But where did it join the GN mainline, Finsbury Park or Harringay?? Both are on a fairly steep gradient, so there would have been plenty of noise from those 33's I know our 31's made enough noise to wake the dead coming past Finsbury Park depot at 0230 with the Welwyn wheat trains

PS, anybody know how much those cement trains weighed ?
