Former DRS 66304 with 66730 tucked inside, on 4E20, Felixstowe South - Masborough, passing over the River Gipping at Boss Hall Jct, Ipswich and about to take the Bacon Curve. 28 09 2022

            Back to one of my favourite locations.

The Bacon Factory Curve,  links the East Suffolk Line & Great Eastern Mainline, forming a triangle, just to the north of the two lines junction. This opened to revenue earning traffic, in April 2014. The point of this curve is to divert freight away from the London end of the GEML to provide more space for passenger trains. Intermodal traffic for Central, Northern England & Scotland will all eventually use this curve.

The Bacon Curve sits on land which used to house the Harris Bacon Factories, hence the name, 'Bacon Curve'. The whole scene is surrounded on every side by various Industrial Estates and areas.
