Description
Memories of top and tail services " up the Valleys " from Cardiff via Queen Street and Caerphilly. High shots from Altolusso Residential Building roof. Views of Canton etc now blocked by other high rise properties. Enjoy memories again of Cardiff and the Bay ( plus Canton Sheds ). note the changes too in the coal wagons on the MGR. Not very often a full train can be in shot. Also rather windy without a tripod ! December 2005.
