RD8258. 1054 & 49395 on the P & B Rly.

            RD8258.  Two London & North Western Railway locomotives double-head during the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway’s Autumn Steam Gala.  The pair are the 0-6-2 ‘Coal Tank’ and the ‘Super D’ class 0-8-0 49395; 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.  

In this picture the train is seen descending the bank between Furnace Sidings and Blaenavon High Level.
