The South Wales Explorer railtour at Park Junction
Vintage Trains' South Wales Explorer railtour featured diesel class 37 No. 37403 and class 20 No. 20189 locomotives in top-and-tail formation. The tour originated at Dorridge and visited Cardiff Central via reversal at Park Junction, an empty stock move to Pengam Sidings and then Cardiff to Cwmbargoed, returning to Ninian Park and then back to Dorridge.
In this view, No. 20189 leads the tour away from Park Junction towards Cardiff. The semaphore signals and signal box here are soon to be replaced with colour-light signals, one of which can be seen installed, but sheeted over, on the left.
