Railway Herald
Photographed after being loaded on an Allelys Heavy Haulage road transporter and parked outside of the entrance to the Nemesis Rail Depot at Burton-on-Trent during the evening of 11th July 2013, is Class 56 No. 56117, which had been renumbered to 0659 003-1, in readiness to begin the first leg of its long journey to Hungary. In the early hours of the following morning the heavy load was due to leave the Burton depot and head to Immingham Docks and be loaded onto a cargo vessel for the next stage of its journey. Unlike the previous two Class 56s that had been overhauled and repainted into the Floyd livery prior to exportation, the former No. 56117 has retained in advance of shipment, the Fertis all-over grey livery that it has carried since working in France.
