==Fleet== {{More citations needed section|date=March 2012}} The total fleet including stored locomotives consisted of 66 [[British Rail Class 37|Class 37s]], 24 [[British Rail Class 47|Class 47s]] and 57 [[British Rail Class 56|Class 56]] diesel locomotives, as well as 33 of the then new [[British Rail Class 60|Class 60]] diesel locomotives. The company also had 48 Class 08/09 shunting locomotives on its books. An unusual member of the fleet was class 122 'Bubblecar' No. 55012. This single car DMU was used as a driver route learner, for which it also carried the number 977941. [[File:56039 Port of Hull.jpg|thumb|BR Class 56 in Loadhaul livery with HAA coal hoppers at Knottingley]] Loadhaul operated 2176 coal wagons, mostly HAA "MGR" hoppers used on power station coal circuits. Smaller numbers of older HEA hopper were used for industrial coal users. 40 MEA wagon conversions from redundant four wheel hoppers were ordered from RMS at Doncaster, these being delivered in 1996. These were primarily for industrial coal customers who relied on mechanical grabs to unload as opposed to having fixed hopper discharge facilities. 1250 wagons were operated on steel traffic, which included the bogie iron ore tippler wagons used on the Scunthorpe ore circuit. Closed vans and infrastructure vehicles contributed to over 1700 other wagons in the Loadhaul fleet. Loadhaul also ran a number of articulated lorries with flatbed trailers out of the steel terminal at Rotherham. These include ERF and DAF 95 tractor units. ===Motive Power Summary=== {| class="wikitable" |- ! Class !! Quantity !! Image !! Type !!
