Rails in Wales 1997. Over 30 freights through Newport

An interesting day.👍

I used to change at Newport when travelling in this era from Hereford back to London. It was always such a busy, bustling place - all sorts of interesting things ticking over in the sidings.

How can this be 27 years ago?! Seems like just a few years ago you could witness the various types of traction and those liveries. Time just flies past.

I'm just so pleased I kept all my tapes, not having invented YOU TUBE back then !

5:54Excellent bowl 🙃

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Just my bad luck, 59 don't run here anymore too !

Are the time captions a bit out ?. Your first one of 10.58 contradicts the station clock, which shows 09.58. A great reminder of how busy Newport used to be. I had been there the month before.

Maybe I hadn't move the camera clock back to winter time !!

[@nelson408.]

@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways Easily done. I have the same problem with my digital camera only being right half the year !!

What a great variety of motive power. Now it is one class 66 after another!

I like your videos but I wish you would let us see the numbers on the locomotives. Cheers.

Back in 1997 I didn't know I was going to share these clips. I noted their numbers in books..remember those days?
