    BNSF 5636 heads a 6 engine coal train as it begins to ascend the grueling 2% grade West towards the Moffat Tunnel.

    GWR 56xx no.5637 on the East Somerset Railway
    200 locomotives of the 56xx class were built by the Great Western Railway in the 1920’s. 5637 worked in the South Wales coalfields under the GWR and passed to British Rail when the GWR was nationalised. With the end of steam on British Railways 5637 was withdrawn from service and sent to Woodhams Scrapyard.
    After 10 years in the scrapyard 5637 was purchased for preservation and taken to the Swindon & Cricklade Railway. The locomotive was gradually restored to running condition in primitive working conditions.

    5637 was finally returned to steam 16 years after it arrived at the Swindon & Cricklade Railway, and works now on the East Somerset Railway.

    5643 emerged from Swindon Works in October 1925. It spent its entire working life in and around South Wales. It was based at Abercynon for about thirteen years during its service under BR ownership.
    It is interesting to note that Abercynon was the terminus of the world’s first steam railway journey when on 21 February 1804 the inventor Richard Trevithick drove a steam locomotive hauling both iron and passengers travelled from the Penydarren ironworks in Merthyr Tydfil to the basin of the Glamorganshire Canal at Abercynon.

    After 38 year’s service, 5643 was withdrawn in July 1963 from service whilst based at Barry, and was moved just a matter of yards to the now famous Woodham’s scrapyard in Barry.

    Steam Locomotive 5648 - 1957c - Radyr

    Radyr is situated on the line still running today northwestwards from Cardiff to Pontypridd and in the days of steam was a sub shed of 88A which was Cardiff Cathays , providing an overnight home for the tank engines working through the valley on both passenger and coal duties and avoiding the need for a daily return to their home Depots when their day's duties had ended, and my 1956 shedbook shows that 5648 seen here had been shedded at 88C.

    STLH 5651 and CEFX 2790 team up to lead train 497 out of LaCrosse. Making this lucky catch even better, some hazy sun has managed to poke through the stubborn cloud cover at a most opportune moment.
