37899 Maesteg.-08.12.92
Another poor scan show's 37899 with a short trainload of MEA's being loaded with reclaimed coal off the tips at St Johns, once the local pit at Maesteg which had shut in 1985 and mostly demolished by this stage. The train was a 7B65 Llynfi Jun to Jersey Marine, the coal destined for the Steel Supply siding at Skewen where it would be blended into a mix with other coal so it could be burnt at Aberthaw power station. This area is now a local primary school! Only a few more trains ran after this.
