Park Junction, Newport
Having just collected the token for the short haul to Machen quarry, DCR Class 60 No. 60055 accelerates away. This is the 6Z52 Oxford Banbury Road sidings – Machen quarry empty box wagons. The magnificent Park Junction signal box still survives for now and has seen increased traffic this year with the introduction of freight workings to Machen quarry operated by DCR and FL (only FL operating now), coupled with the Class 170 units to Ebbw Vale from Cardiff and the reintroduction of services from Cross Keys to Newport, the first in 60 years.
