A Cross Country Voyager heads over the River Usk at Newport working 1V58 10:05 Edinburgh Waverley to Plymouth
The east Usk lighthouse overlooks the coast at the 'Newport Wetlands', a wildlife reserve on the 'Gwent levels', which is an extensive tidal marshland on the south-east Wales coast.
The lighthouse was built in 1893. It complemented the navigational guidance offered by the larger 'West Usk' lighthouse (1821) for shipping entering Newport docks through the estuary formed by the Usk and Ebbw rivers.
The West Usk lighthouse was decommissioned in 1922, but the East Usk lighthouse continues to function as a 'port entry light'.
The West Usk lighthouse is the white structure just visible on the horizon.
Looking across the River Usk, 60063 heads out of the station and across the Great Western Railway Usk bridge working 6B13 05:00 Robeston Sidings to Westerleigh Murco.
An unidentified TfW Coradia Class 175/1 crosses the briny Usk with 1V95, the 10.41 Holyhead to Llanelli service, about to stop at Newport, South Wales on a dark and foreboding Thursday afternnon, late October, 27.10.22.

Not the largest of Lighthouses, but it has served its community since 1893 with a gas powered light until 1972, when it was converted to electric.
The lighthouse is now owned and managed by Newport Harbour Commissioners, a Board established by an Act of Parliament, responsible for safe navigation, dredging and pilotage within the Newport Harbour and River Usk up to Newbridge-on-Usk.
