Pickfords Tank Haulage, Harold Woods and Tankfreight

[mandator]

Traffic to the Continent via the Tilbury - Antwerp ferry line. Here a Pickfords tanker picked up by a Mercedes of Belgo-Anglaise des Ferry Boats SA. crossing a Railway somewhere in Belgium.

Really a nice combination, a sound mix of European transport, German tractor, British trailor, Belgian railroadcrossing
(my guess would be in Lier, near Lierse SK soccer) and a Belgian-British coöperation

In the documentary film ‘Ferry Load’ on YouTube you see this sort of cooperation in action
