Parked in sidings on the down side of the main line, opposite Cocklebury Sidings, is Freightliner's 47209, and two Shark brake vans. At the time there was a regular weekly train of containers carrying Anchor butter, from Tilbury Docks to Swindon, often referred to as the "Butterliner"! This is the loco that would have worked in the train, and will work it back to Tilbury at some point later.
