Pairs of Class 56s were used on the heavy Port Talbot to Llanwern iron ore trains in the 1980s, taking over from the even more impressive triple headed Class 37s (which I unfortunately never got around to photographing). On 15 June 1983, 56040 Oystermouth & 56050 pass Stormy with the 6C48 14:35 Llanwern to Port Talbot empties.
