Similar on the North Wales line, but never saw soldiers, just the nuclear waste flasks. It was a heavy old train though, you knew what it was without seeing it.When I lived in Essex, my parents house was near to the Southminster branch line where once or twice a month at silly o'clock in the morning the 'nuclear train' (as we called it) would take waste from Bradwell power station to Sellafield (I think) for re-processing.
On coming home from an impromptu mid-week party we were crossing the line when the train came through. The train had a carriage either side of the waste wagons and was filled with soldiers.
Quite a sight at about 4am when you're p*ssed as a fart!
