Steel trains at Splott Junction

An unusual working is seen at Splott Junction, Cardiff, with two shunting locomotives in the middle of the train. Both locomotives were working, and the trains separated soon afterwards. Further away is a train of steel scrap being propelled by locomotive "6" (formerly class 09 No. 09106), and nearer is a steel billet train hauled by "Celsa 3" (formerly class 08 No. 08630); both are heading for the Celsa steelworks in the distance.
