Class 60 locomotive No. 66044 is seen on the Genwen Loop with empty steel coil wagons from Trostre Works. 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 66 locomotive No. 60082.
