Thanks for this! There isn't enough footage of UK industrial lines in action.

I worked the branch one Saturday, many years ago. Things have changed slightly since then. We tripped the coal wagons up from the exchange sidings in batches of three - the maximum load the Sentinel diesel loco could manage up the gradient. However, we didn't run round the back of the plant, as it seems from this video, but ran under the loading silo where we took the siding seen branching off to the left. The wagons were unloaded there. Eventually you hauled 9 empties back from the siding and let gravity assist going back to the exchange sidings, before returning light engine up to the works. I did take a walk around the site spotting a couple of out-of-use loco's elsewhere in the works.

@@peterbuckley265 I can't be certain. It doesn't appear on OS maps dated 1935, but does appear on the 1952 map. The extension, as shown on the video seems to have been added in the last 10 - 15 years or so. Apart from organised photo charters or works open days then the only passenger workings over the branch seem to utilise goods brake vans only. The radius of the curves from Ward's Sidings up to the plant would preclude the use of standard passenger coaches. I may be proved wrong though.

A shot of the locomotive and wagons would have been nice. Also, I note that it's not a tramway (electric), but in Germany, Poland and Russia they're nearly always electrified, even if rather crudely.
