Description
Back in June 2005 I recorded some clips inside Bargoed Signal Box. As well as working the levers to change signals, the signalman also delivered single line tokens to all drivers to/from Rhymney. 3 class 37 in various liveries were running that day. The box and locos are just history in 2025, but at least "I was there!"

Several Class 37 locomotives, including numbers 37405, 37408, and 37411, are visible. The footage also includes references to locations such as Rhymney, Pontlottyn, Ystrad Mynach, Cardiff Central, and Bargoed. While the signal box and locomotives are now historical, the video provides a glimpse into past railway operations in Wales.
