Description
Starting at Cardiff Central 37607/37609/20306/20310 pass having departed Canton Depot on their way to the now closed Pengam Yard, east of Cardiff. On their arrival the 4 locos shunt the train down the line to Cardiff Docks before reversing back into Pengam Yard. Here the pair of 20s and 37s separate and reform for their departure east back onto the mainline towards Bristol. Also note the busy mainline with Transrail and Load Haul locos passing with steel, coal, oil and logs. Finally memories too of HSTs and mail trains
