37153-Pontlotyn.
Within a week this 36 years old locomotive 37153 in perfect working order was consigned to store and shortly after that dumped at Wigan-CRDC for component recovery. Mainly because the vindictive management at EWS was at that time hell bent on ruining perfectly serviceable locomotives to prevent rival companies acquiring them to use as competition for the dwindling freight business. So here is 'Transrail' 37153 on its last but one working day passing Pontlottyn with '2R42' the 17:05 from Cardiff-Central to Rhymney evening commuter train. Only a 200 mile round trip from home to here and return for just 3 shots if I was lucky.Transportation for this journey being my then regular motorcycle mount, a Yamaha FZR1000-exup.-Happy days!
