Cockenzie Power Station
56 072 and a sibling faff about with coal wagons (if something so big can be said to faff, and if you can faff so slowly) on the Cockenzie branch in July 1995. The branch stops short of Cockenzie Power Station itself with the coal being carried into the site by a half-mile long conveyor. I'd imagine this was thought preferable to either an inconvenient level crossing over the coast road or roundabout rail route with expensive engineering works to avoid one.
