Rails in Wales. Festival of class 59s 20+ years ago

Railways in the UK. Recorded in the days of long and heavy iron ore trains and steel trains through Cardiff. Plus 3 in one clip when a railtour arrives in Cardiff for a loco change. Just a memory now of 20+ years ago

Worked on the class 59's a lot. Still going strong these days on 4000 tonne stone trains out of the Mendips with its EMD 16-645E3C GM engine. DBC had all the 59'2s when I was with them
