56066 Henbury 30th August 1995
56066 powers 6Z17 11:30 Avonmouth BHT to Aberthaw on 30th August 1995 with the standard load of 36 HAA's full of imported coal. The 1979 built loco had just returned to traffic after a lengthy rebuild as the loco was sadly involved in a fatal collision at Morpeth in November 1992. After all the expense of a new cab it only lasted a few years and was withdrawn in April 1999. Once stripped at Wigan Springs Branch it was finally broken up by Ron Hull Jr, Rotherham in December 2005.
