Description
Pairs of 37s feature in these clips, starting at the bottom of Stormy Bank, a mile east of Margam, This is another location unavailable due to tree and bush growth. The same applies to the line towards Cwmbargoed; which still has 66 runnings, but less frequently, even in 2020. Class 59s on iron ore are also past of rail history, both locos and load are but fond memories
