Colas Class 56 No. 56096 shunts the 18.14 Hellifield Goods Loops - Chirk Kronospan loaded timber working on 9th October 2023. The train has been split into two halves and the locomotive is seen shunting the first half out of the yard and it will reverse into the goods loop before returning to collect the rest of the vehicles. This is necessary as the siding into which the train is running is too short to accommodate its full length. it is currently being extended to alleviate this problem.
