Photographed on its first revenue-earning working since transfer into the Colas Rail Freight fleet, Class 56/3 No. 56302 recently repainted into the company's orange, yellow and black livery is pictured on Monday 19th November 2012 passing Burton-on-Trent powering 6E07, 11:51 Washwood Heath to Boston Docks, comprised of ten empty covered steel carriers and Colas Rail Freight Class 47/7 No. 47739 'Robin of Templecombe' coupled inside dead-in-train as a precautionary measure. The locomotive had performed a test run from Washwood Heath to Burton-on-Trent on Friday 16th November 2012 accompanied by classmate No. 56094. This working therefore became the first revenue-earning working of No. 56302 looking resplendent in its new guise and certainly brightened up a rather dull autumn afternoon.
