37698 Purton 15th August 1997
37698 follows the River Severn at Purton with 6V14, the 07.49 Hull Saltend to Baglan Bay acetic acid tanks on 15th August 1997. In a time before mobile gen this was a great location to sit and watch the world go by hoping that one or more of the booked freight services would turn up. On this day, 30 minutes previously 60009 had gone south on steel and 30 minutes later 56004 in BR blue rumbled past on 7V18, the coal to Llanwern from Silverdale. Great times.
