Shunters moves around the UK

Port of Boston’s 09022 was moved to Wishaw on August 20, to be replaced by 08939 which travelled in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, Harry Needle Railroad Company’s 08877 has been moved to Hams Hall and Freightliner’s 08691 has moved from Burton to Felixstowe, allowing 08531 to move the other way.

A couple of shunters have changed hands recently. 08853 has been acquired by Railway Support Services from Wabtec and has been moved by road from Doncaster to Wishaw.

HNRC has sold 09106 to a private buyer. It was moved to Lydney at the Dean Forest Railway by road from the Cardiff Celsa site in early September.

Valley Rail Preservation will undertake work on it before it moves to its new home.
