Class 20s in Action - MGR Coal trains to Ironbridge
Filmed 4th April 1990, although the PS remained open until 2015, June 2010 saw the last delivery of coal via rail.
A Panasonic MS1 SHVS Camera was used and whilst the quality was good at the time it isn't as easy to digitise as Hi8 and loses a lot of quality.
