Rails in Wales. Track relaying at Stormy Bank, ballast, sleepers and track.
Pencoed I recorded 59003 and 66849 on the 6C22 Westbury - Bridgend ballast train for Stormy. Next my drive took me to the roadbridge, where as luck would have it, the work was passing underneath! Note the speed at which the sleepers are lifted of the train and positioned. Final clip from 2017 with memories of HST passing the same spot
