File:66717 Mountfield Sidings to Doncaster Down Decoy 4E19 empty gypsum (15149341339).jpg

GB Railfreight's class 66/7 (JT42CWR) number 66717 . Here it is photographed hauling empty gypsum containers mounted on flat wagons from Mountfield Sidings (GBRf) East Sussex to Doncaster Down Decoy (4E19) on 22 September 2014. To comply with gas emission regulations limestone (CaCO3) delivered to the power station (by other trains) is used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the flue gasses, by converting it into gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O). The waste product (gypsum) is then delivered to British Gypsum's Robertsbridge Works by train where it is used to manufacture plaster and plasterboard.
