At first the siding was worked by horses, which pulled up the empty trucks, the loads being allowed to run down to the GWR by gravity. The first locomotive bore the name Francis, though it was familiarly known as The Coffee Pot.
In 1894 a new locomotive arrived, named Daisy. Francis lay derelict by the engine shed for a few years before being scrapped.
When Daisy was out of order once, another locomotive named Emlyn was borrowed from C. D. Phillips of Newport. Daisy was returned to her maker in 1904 for a new steel boiler, and another new boiler was fitted in December 1916, at which date the engine was working at Burchells Colliery.
