RD8253. Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway.

            RD8253.  London & North Western Railway ‘Super D’ class 0-8-0 49395 and the London & North Western Railway 0-6-2 ‘Coal Tank’ double head a train away from furnace Sidings during the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway’s Autumn Steam Gala.  

They are recreating a combination that occurred on the 5th January, 1958 when the very same coal tank double-headed with a now scrapped Super D on a special last train over the Heads of the Valleys line from Abergavenny to Merthyr.  

The Big Pit branch line train can be seen in the distance waiting to depart from Furnace Sidings.
