BRCW Class 33 No. 33106 is pictured at the leading end of a rake of empty coaching stock from Weymouth Quay station on 27th August 1989. Although displaying route 90 in the 2-character headcode panel the train had earlier arrived at the quayside terminus as 1Z39, 0730 Burton-on-Trent to Weymouth Quay, a Lichfield Rail Promotion Group charter train. The Class 33 was used for the section along the Weymouth Harbour Tramway taking over from Class 47/4 No. 47532 that worked the train from Burton-on-Trent to the Weymouth Harbour branch junction and later in the day the 1800 Weymouth Town back to Burton-on-Trent.
