This video shows two rare Class 57 diesel locomotives, 57010 and 57012, operating on a less commonly used section of track near Birmingham. The footage captures the unusual movement of these locomotives during a period when the main line between Birmingham and Derby was closed for engineering works. Both locomotives were previously operated by Direct Rail Services (DRS) and have since been acquired and refurbished by West Coast Railway (WCR). The locations featured include Gravelly Hill, Derby, and Bristol Parkway.
