Description
Join us in May 1991 for the cab ride from Abergavenny down to Newport with 2 stops on the way. Notice the number of sidings and cross over on the way, and especially the triangle of track before our arrival at Newport. This is where most steam locos turn around when bringing rail-tours to Cardiff. No turntables at Canton now. Car park on the LEFT not right for good views of track.Recorded by the late Mike Price, edited by me from his 3 hour VHS tapes
