Description
Having spent the majority of their working lives on the Southern Region of British Rail, the Class 33 is not a locomotive one would readily associate with Scotland. However three class 33 locomotives were sent to Scotland on 1st October 1999. 33025 (grey/yellow) and 33030 (EWS livery) were allocated to Motherwell, and outbased at Aberdeen for local freight duties whilst 33019 (grey/yellow) was kept at Motherwell Depot as a source for spares. 33030 caught fire at Huntly while working 6A11 to Aberdeen on Weds 17 Jan 2001. As 33025 had been out of service at Motherwell for a while, both 33 were then out of action. Fortunately all three locomotives however survive to this day, two of which are seen at the end of this short film.
