The exEWS empty bogie coal hopper wagons being hauled from Aberthaw Power Station to Tower Colliery were to be loaded with anthracite (a variety of hard coal that has a high carbon content with few impurities so releases a large amount of energy per weight) excavated from the Tower Colliery open cast mine. 66150 (works number 968702-150) was built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division, London, Ontario, Canada in 1998 and unloaded from the Heavy Lift Ship MV "Gajah Borneo" at Newport Docks on 18 August 1999.
