Colas Rail Freight Class 56 No. 56094 is pictured passing through Burton-on-Trent on Saturday 5th January 2013 with 6E07, 11:51 Washwood Heath to Boston Docks empty steel carriers. The plume of exhaust indicates that the driver is applying extra power after negotiating the mandatory speed limit of 50 mph through the station. As this working is not normally diagrammed to run on a Saturday, it can only be assumed that it was running as a substitute for a working that was cancelled earlier in the week.
