22A · Snailwell

At Snailwell scrap yard (between Ely and Bury St Edmunds) the small green industrial shunter has 410 painted on the cab in yellow. This loco has a partner since I last passed; a larger industrial shunter with a livery of cream painted upper body, light blue lower body and random black graffiti.
