Taken eight months before the line closed forever in December 1985 this 7-car DMU formation made up of two class 117 sets L407 (51342 + 59494 + 51384) + L413 and class 121 set L121 (55021) are seen at the limit of BR working around the site of Blaengarw station which closed on 9/2/1953. The train was the Monmouthshire Railway Society 'Maerdy Gras' tour on April 20, 1985. The line continued a short distance beyond here to serve Garw colliery and the once famous Ocean colliery but tracks beyond here would be considered to be mineral railway so this train came to a stand at the first set of facing points before reversing.
