Cemex Shunter
GBRf took over the operation of the Cemex Sidings at Peak Forest in 2018 and before long a couple of Class 56 diesels were being used to shunt the plant. 56.098 dragged a rake of empty wagons out of sidings on 29 March 2019, prior to backing them under the loader. The 56s seemed to spend their time loading trains for DB Cargo while traffic handled by GBRf was usually shunted by the train engine, inevitably a Class 66.
