To comply with gas emission regulations limestone (CaCO3) delivered to the power station (by other trains) is used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the flue gasses (desulfurisation), by converting it into gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O). The waste product (gypsum) is then delivered by train to British Gypsum's Robertsbridge Works where it is used to manufacture plaster and plasterboard for Greater London and the South East of England. According to 47484 the full consist of 18 wagons was 640658, 640678, 640659, 640676, 640671, 640914, 640643, 640679, 640649, 640654, 640683, 640675, 640641, 640662, 640648, 640680, 640691 and 640667. 66719 was built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division, London, Ontario, Canada in 2006 and unloaded from the Heavy Lift Ship MV "Jumbo Challenger" at Newport Docks (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/67735103@N02/6839375168/in/photolist-bqnzXw-bDhtmP">www.flickr.com/photos/67735103@N02/6839375168/in/photolis...</a>) around 9 April 2006.
