Description
On one of the coldest days this winter, I was surprised to be one of only 3 photographers to be at Cwmbargoed to record one of the final coal trains to depart for Margam and Port Talbot, 66068 doing this turn. Note all the road vehicles onsite as the final loads are brought down from Ffos-y-Fran. I will post more memories of the past 30 years in future dates
