Class 66 on the Genwen Loop
Class 66 on the Genwen Loop
Class 66 locomotive No. 66082 emerges onto the Genwen Loop from Trostre steel works with empty steel coil wagons.

With the Swansea District Line closed because of an oil-train derailment, these trains to Margam (or beyond) are diverted via Landore, which necessitates reversals at Genwen Junction and shortly afterwards at Llandeilo Junction, and the trains must be top-and-tailed. At the other end of the train on this occasion was class 60 locomotive No. 60044.
