LPPC DSL BW 0984 Whilst an 08 350hp shunter forms an engineer’s train in the yard, a light English Electric Type 3 Class 37 comes off the Radyr loco stabling point and heads off up the valley. Behind the two locos, the line to the left runs directly to Cardiff Queen Street station whilst that to the right also goes to Cardiff, but it is freight only and, once there, becomes the avoiding line behind Canton depot, 86A, to give access to the Barry line or ahead towards Newport. Keywords: BR, Radyr, Western, Wales, Coal, Freight, Class 08, Class 37, Shunter
