No. 08921 ''Pongo'' is seen parked outside the steel mill. The curvature of the tracks here is severe, although no trouble for small wheelbase shunters. © David Glasspool

To the right of the previous picture, the lines are seen curving sharply around the perimeter of the buildings - note the guide rails in place. These rails are curving round towards Sheerness-on-Sea station, and form one side of the triangular junction with the branch line. © David Glasspool

In view is one of the works' domestic shunters, No L127 "Bill". In the foreground is the single-track line which spurs off to the docks, crossing the main road in the process - it is marked by the warning lights and gate. © David Glasspool
