The DVD "The Somerset 7 Dorset Railway, Volume Three, The End of the Line" produced by and available from Transport Video Publishing, includes some footage of Bristol Bath Road's 45-ton Ransomes & Rapier crane ADRR95213 (formerly GWR No 19) working at the site of Norton Hill Colliery Sidings at Midsomer Norton on the S&D on Tuesday 18th June 1968.

The previous Sunday had seen the runaway and subsequent spectacular derailment of a track recovery train, which fortunately had run into the former colliery sidings site and derailed rather than running through the level crossings at Radstock with the probability of very serious consequences. Bath Road's breakdown gang were mobilised to clear up the mess the following week. The footage is of about 2 mins duration and is approx 50 minutes into the 60 minute program.
