Welsh Freight Cwmbargoed on the edge and Big Spender

With Cwmbargoed Open cast ( Ffos y Fran) due to finish in September, we look back to a short video i took in 2012 where we see 2 loaded trains preparing to leave 66087 and 66074 , the only time I saw 2 loaded trains there at the same time.
Listen to the driver of 66087 sending off the tones to 66074 with the intro of Shirley Basseys' "BIG SPENDER."

Fantastic shots Brian of what will unfortunately soon be history

A wonderful video to treasure Brian. The tones sounded to me like 'Ilkley Moor Bar t'at' often used by Julian Braacchi of our parish.

Thanks Bob, didn't realise that was Julians' signature.
