Pathfinder Tours operated a railtour - The Taffy Tug - from Bristol to South Wales covering five branch lines (Ebbw Vale, Machen Quarry, Penarth, Cwmbargoed and Coryton), on which either passenger trains or locomotive-hauled trains are not normally seen. The tour was operated with two freight locomotives (Class 60s, nicknamed Tugs, Nos. 60063 and 60017) in top-and-tail formation. Here the train approaches Coryton station.
