Source of power wasted in loading train (8,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

national grid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'source of power wasted' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'loading train' is the wordplay.
'loading train' can be anagrammed to 'NATIONAL GRID'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for national grid that I've seen before include "Power distribution network" , "plenty of power here" , "High-voltage distribution system" , "Supplier of current" , "Geographical coordinate system used in UK" .)
