    A pair of type 5 class 66 locos front 6B66 the daily engineers working from Westbury, 1115 off, to Newport Alexandria Docks Junction Yard. The 12 vehicles were mainly empty.
    A tug at work on empty steel coil wagons from the steel plant at Corby heading back to Margam for reloading. 6V92 left the Corby plant at 1010 this morning. Class 60's used to be found on every steel train due to their weight but the class 66s are making serious inroads.
    A healthy train of mainly JSA steel wagons approaches with 66177 at the head end. 6M44 is a Llanwern to Round Oak working consisting of finished steel for various uses.
