25th Aug 1996

Later in the day someone obviously got to work and climbed aboard 60062 "Samuel Johnson" to take out the 6B76 (SuO) 15.02 Margam to Ebbw Vale service. The train is comprised of 18 BAA wagons loaded with steel ingots, and 5 BLA wagons carrying steel coil. The train is seen departing on time, passing Margam Abbey Works East Signal Box, closed in 1987 when Knuckle Yard opened, but which was apparently built in 1949 to a war time austerity design. I am quite sure you would not be able to stand here taking pictures nowadays!
