Rails in Wales 20 years ago. Weedkiller, heavy freight and new 66s
First sight as they leave the now closed line up from Margam/Port Talbot to reverse then move on to Bridgend. Next to enjoy memories of busier times at Newport with 08, 47, 56, 60, 66 and HSTs. So much freight in one day and the old stabling point next to the station, now closed to give more room for parking. Finally back to Pontyclun for delivery of stone to the now closed yard adjacent to the station
