Hi saxokid,
I assume that this is the crane you saw but with a more unusual visitor.:)

37611 and 20308 were working the nuclear flask train from Valley yesterday.

That would have been the nuclear flasks for Wylfa power station. The flasks are transhipped from road to rail at the terminal at Valley (near the A55) and then railed up to Cumbria, I think. One of the last bits of regular freight on the North Wales Coast main line.
