19th September 2012 Colas Rail Freight operated a trial run of a Class 56 on their full timber diagram which includes workings to Wales, Devon and Cumbria. On the 19th September 2012 Class 56 No.56094 operated the 6Z52 10:35 Gloucester New Yard - Teigngrace empties south through Taunton. This was in preparation to work the loaded train to Chirk on the 20th September. If the trial is deemed a success we will be seeing (and hearing) a lot more of these locos in the Taunton area. No.56094 is pictured rounding the curve at Creech St Michael as the loco heads south to Teigngrace. (Photo: Adam Hiscock)
