Newport Station in busier times; 40 movements in 20 mins.

In November and December '98 we spend a couple of days recording the large variety off freight passing through 2 x 08, 1 x 09, 12 x 37, 1 x 47, 9 x 60, 4 x 56, 7 x 66 and a couple of HSTs. Also the present car park was a stabling point just North of the mainline. Llanwern was a busy place back in the late '90s so we had iron ore and various steel trains passing.

Great video thanks again Mike, took a while until we saw a shed what great days and variety of traction 👍🏼

[@idic9919]

Wonderful memories as always. I remember those iron ore trains with 3 37s on the front, magic!

What a freightastic video mike reinforces my belief that i should have spent time in the area in the late 90s instead of visiting other areas

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Quite agree; did you keep all your old videos too?

[@saltleywsc]

The last time had 40 movements in 20 minutes, was the morning after a vindaloo at the curry house
