08928 at Bescot
08928 is loaded onto a road trailer at the rear of Bescot depot. This shot was taken around 13:00 on Saturday 27th February 1993. The loco was in the process of being transferred to Norwich, and the lorry departed from Bescot around 14:45. The routine movement of shunting engines by road had only just started at this time, and the loading procedure was still a bit of a novelty. Nowadays such movements are common, and somewhere around the country one or more railway vehicles, often shunting locos, are being moved around by road almost every working day. The use of an assisting loco during loading soon fell out of use.
