This diesel-hydraulic shunter used to haul coal from Snibston Colliery to sidings adjacent to the Leicester-Burton line. It is now reduced to hauling a single coach full of grockles. Seen from the weighbridge office (part of the colliery tour; unlike Big Pit at Blaenavon, this is entirely above ground).

Location: Snibston Colliery (former)

Original line: Leicester and Swannington Railway
