Train reporting headcodes ceased to be displayed on locomotives in 1976, and indeed later build classes, such as this Class 56 had no provision for displaying them. Therefore this a bit of a novelty, as 56053 Sir Morgannwg Ganol / County of Mid Glamorgan clearly has the train's headcode prominently displayed in the windscreen! It is pictured approaching Magor on 14 March 1997 with the 6C24 14:09 Parc Slip to Westbury Cement Works loaded MGR coal train. Celtic Energy had opened the Parc Slip loading point the previous year. |
