Description
Another busy afternoon at Newport on the 28th September 2005. Many of the wagon liveries have disappeared as well as the loads they were moving. For those of you interested in numbers, the following are included 60093/52,
66241/927/069/029/074/079/066 and 709
Part 2 includes "Thames-Rhymney" Railtour, 66134/006, which I caught at Machen, Cwmbargoed and Ystrad Mynach. Despite heavy rain it was worth the effort as the line to Cwmbargoed is now closed. Tape Mini DV 182.
