On 26th November 2011 No. 66150 is seen almost at the summit of Llanvihangel bank (between Abergavenny and Hereford) working 6M60 from Exeter Riverside to Bescot. This train usually conveys just tankers of china clay slurry, but on this date the first three vehicles were two carriages and a crane from Bescot being returned following work at derailment in the Exeter area a couple of days previously. At this point the heavy train had been climbing for nearly 7-miles, the last couple being at 1 in 95 and was moving quite slowly.
