Two hours from home in the Aire Valley to Birch on the M62. The ghost of Fred Dibnah overtook us in a steam roller. #m62 #trafficnews

Got to know this strip of motorway way too much at one point. I can close my eyes now and recollect journeys on it.

In operation the M61 had proven to be far more reliable and economical than the M62, and gained cult status among train fans in Hungary over the years.
6 out of the original 20 M61s are still operational, despite the state railways' best efforts in the late 90s to scrap them and sell them for parts. (001, 006, 010, 017, 019, 020 are operational, 002 still exists but almost entirely parted out, 004 partially preserved as a museum exhibit after a major accident).

Train nerding:
In 1963-64, the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) 🇭🇺 bought 20 American-licensed 🇺🇸 Swedish 🇸🇪 made NOHAB AA16 locomotives. They were put into service under class name "M61", and they were a huge success.
This was so controversial in the East-Bloc, that the Soviet Union decided to build an entire loco-series to compete under type code "M62", and they flooded the entire East-Bloc with them. The naming directly comes from the Hungarian code for the NOHABs.

Off the tops now, we're walking parallel to the #M62 motorway amid golf course and scrubland.
First pic, towards the house at the back, there once was a #Roman fort there at a place called Slack. A minor one, presumed to have been a stop off on the way to bigger forts at, for example, Adel in #Leeds. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_Roman_Fort
There was a Roman road leading here: there's evidence of it near Crimea Lane where we started. #history
