56052 passes through Gobowen station on 9 June 1996 with the 6M29 08:23 Margam to Dee Marsh steel coils. At the time, there were two northbound steel trains on this route on a Sunday, with this one being booked for a Class 56, and the other usually worked by a Class 60. The Gobowen for Oswestry sign is now a little optimistic, as the branch from here to Oswestry closed in 1966.
