Class 33/1 No. 33103 Swordfish is pictured securely fastened on a Reid Freight Services Ltd transporter for its long road journey to the Bluebell Railway. The photograph taken shortly before 8am on a very damp Monday 11th February 2013 shows the road transporter with the BRC&W Bo-Bo locomotive resting on its trailer negotiating the tight right hand turn onto the Derby Road at Burton-on-Trent as it leaves the Nemesis Rail Depot. It is understood that the locomotive has been hired from Nemesis Rail by the Bluebell Railway to assist in their effort to complete its northern extension to East Grinstead and thus reconnect with the national railway network.
