Rail Operations and Coal Traffic at East Usk Junction, Newport
One of the most notable flows was the coal traffic operating to and from the now-decommissioned Uskmouth power stations. Loaded trains heading toward the site and empties returning from it were regular features, and their predictable patterns made the junction a reliable place for documenting these operations as part of the wider freight activity in the area. This footage was recorded in December 2000.
The footage shows loaded and empty trains moving through the junction, highlighting regular patterns of activity. The location provided good visibility of both main-line freight and movements within the dock complex. The recording offers insight into the area's freight operations during the early 2000s.
