Railway Herald
The scene at the Nemesis Rail Depot at Burton-on-Trent on the morning of 15 August 2012 shows Colas Rail Freight Class 47/7 No. 47739 'Robin of Templecome' in the centre of the picture with Class 56s No's. 56301, 56302 and 56078 before a shunting operation took place to allow the Class 47 to haul the trio from the Depot to Washwood Heath on a transfer movement. A short while prior to the shunting move Class 56 No. 56301 was started up and emitted a plume of exhaust as the engine was fired up. It is most likely that it was the last time it would do so on the Burton depot. The other locomotives in the photograph are No's. 56051, 56065, 56018, 56117, 56081, 56060, 47375, 20903 and 08892. Partially visible at the rear is No. 73117.
