Description
Starting at Severn Tunnel Junction we see 60014 on steel slabs pass through on a down service via Chepstow. Our train comes up from Severn Tunnel with 12 EMU carriages bound for Caerwent Scrap Yard at the MOD Depot near Caldicot. My next clip of Freightliners' 66613 shows her arrival at the turn off for the MOD Depot. Next we see her come off her train and then the 2 shunters comes down across the A48 and M4 to collect their stock to take back up the private line to the scrapyard. All this is now only a memory; but Iwas there !!
