Description
From Newport docks to the South Wales mainline, back in 1998, I was out and about recording the movements of these new Canadian locomotives.
Surprising how few fellow photographers were about to record their movements, especially the 4 passing through Newport with the 37 too.
Also interesting how many 08/09 shunters were about. VHS tape 88 Autumn 1998
