Night scene



Loco 31233 stands at Saltley on a test train from Derby.
In the second pic loco 57012 prepares to depart Lawley St terminal on freightliner service 4L73 last night. Again, not a Sutton Park line location but i thought it might be of interest as it's fairly close ! In the background can be seen the now-disused Saltley loco shed (left), and the mountain of scrap at Dunns Metal Processing plant (centre).
This locomotive was converted to a "57" from Brush class 47 47204 (D1854) in 2000 at Loughborough Falcon Works, and named "Freightliner Envoy".
