Description
Starting at Aberthaw Signal Box we greet the team before they take their train into Aberthaw Power Station. Next, to the cement works yard catching the reverse movements before moving on to the field next to the Power Station where out loco runs round the yard light engine.
Back to the bridges overlooking the track we also record coal trains going in/out; now just a memory. Final clips are with 47843 at St Athan and Castle upon Alun. Next time we visit Barry back in 2004
