Train crossing Pontamman railway bridge
A scene that hasn't been witnessed for some time until a recent refurbishment allowed the Amman Valley railway line to once again carry coal. This train is travelling back down the valley with 25 wagons full of coal. The bridge has a plate on it stating that it was built in 1877. The locomotive seen here is a Class 66 (number 66083) - known as the "Shed" because of their end-on profile or "Ying-ying" due to the sound they make. They're a very common goods diesel locomotive in South Wales. Prior to being mothballed, the line was served by Type 37 locos, known as Growlers or Tractors, due to their deep chugging sound - as seen by a photograph taken from almost exactly the same location in 1989.

Train on the bridge
Empty wagons head back west after delivering coal to the washery at Abernant. This line has seen no movements of coal for a long while and is mothballed. At this time there were still up to half a dozen movements a day on the branch line moving coal. Note the Jet Petrol Station in the background. How much was petrol then?
