I had originally set up this shot to capture the glint from an approaching westbound's headlights on some stored ballast cars in the backtrack at Swansea but things didn't go as planned. It turned out that a meet was taking place and the first train to arrive would be an eastbound on the closest track headed away from me with its lights extinguished, drat!  But all was not lost, the first dozen or so cars on the eastbound were gondola's so when the westbound neared and turned on the brights after passing the head end of the eastbound, the light fell nicely over both sides of the eastbound and with a quick exposure adjustment I went away satisfied.
