19th April 1989

I was almost "bowled over" by this, but fortunately the two "Grids" were captured in action - just! Approaching me is Class 56 no. 56034 "Castle Ogwr/Ogmore Castle" slowing down to pass through the station with a train of Foster Yeoman hoppers from Mererhead Quarry. Going the other way is no. 56036 heading for Whatley Quarry, and a string of ARC hoppers.
