Is any film running on line from Newbridge past old celynen pit Abercarn

[@saltspringrailway3683]

I was born in '57. The coal industry, vital for UK, sure spoilt a lot of beautiful scenery with its tips, as well as ruining miners health. Great footage of the railways.

[@ElzevereBlock]

So.....you were born in '57 were you? Oooooooooooooooo!. Didn't you learn anything in the following years about Governments destroying communities by closing pits and railways? All working class people have their health damaged, no matter what they do. It's why we're called "working class". I was born in '55.....ooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

Just after no 6 and before no 7 I am sure you have missed one? That looks like Blaencwm just before the tunnel on the R&SB line to me at 0:39

[@christopherspencer8825]

I think so. 7 is definitely Penrhos, near Caerphilly. The pillars are the remains of a viaduct
