37405 arrives at Bescot with crane DRK81612 and its three runner wagons. This was a 6Z32 working from Rugby, and was photographed at 15:47 on Monday 17th July 2023. The loco had earlier run light engine from Coleham to Rugby, and with the Trent Valley line blocked by engineering work it was booked to return to Bescot via Coventry and Aston. In the event it was 30L off Rugby and ran via Coventry, Nuneaton and Water Orton. The loco then returned light engine to Coleham a couple of hours later. This loco is owned by HNRL and was on hire to Colas in lieu of unavailable Class 97/3s, hence being based in Shrewsbury. HNRL's orange livery doesn't look out of place with the Colas-liveried wagons, and I much prefer this simpler colour scheme to Colas's own yellow/orange effort where the lines of the livery don't follow those of the loco.
