On a later occasion, a locomotive waits at the end of the branch from Snibston Colliery while loaded wagons are shunted at the exchange sidings on the Leicester to Burton line, Coalville, 1984.  This locomotive had probably helped bring the wagons from the colliery and was waiting for the shunting to be completed before returning.
