Up freight train passing through Newport High Street station
View SW, towards Cardiff etc. and the Western Valleys; ex-GWR South Wales main line. Fifty years ago and earlier, trains like this were passing through Newport constantly. This Class F train is headed by an original Churchward '2800' 2-8-0 (No. 2818, built 12/05), about 50 years older than the 2-10-0 depicted in
