In conjunction with the nearby Bescot open day on 6th May 1990 a series of DMU shuttles ran, this is a Tyseley allocated 4 car Derby Suburban DMU set T407 on the freight only spur between Darlaston Junction and Pleck Junction returning to Walsall with one of the shuttles. The vehicles are presumably 53916 + 59442 + 59594 + 51858, classes 116/116/127/115. Andrew J Crowther.

12th May 1990
Set: C397
I did all too little photography of the South Wales branches and my only pictures on the line from Lime Kiln Junction near Newport to Oakdale Colliery are those showing The Caerwent Cannonball 2 DMU tour that ran on 12 May 1990. My notes give no indication at all of the various locations visited so the captions are necessarily vague. Two DMUs, a two car Class 118 (51315/51330) and a three car Class 116/108 hybrid (51133/59248/51136), were used and a headboard was carried on each end to make life easier for the crew during the several reversals on the other branches covered during the day. The vista on the Oakdale branch opened out a bit at a few locations and the sun did manage to appear at times thoughout the afternoon. The hawthorn blossom is prominent in this view as the train receded from the camera. Peter Tandy.

This was such a decent location that it seemed worthwhile to wait for the train to come back from Rhiw-Syr-Daffydd level crossing, the furthest point reached by the Caerwent Cannonball 2 on 12 May 1990. I just changed to an 85mm lens in order to give a slightly different viewpoint. Peter Tandy.

Plenty of heads watching the way ahead as the Caerwent Cannonball 2 (51136/59248/51133 + 51330/51315) runs back towards Newport on 12 May 1990. The walker on the well-used track seemed to be more bemused by the sight of photographers on the bridge more than the presence of a train on the by then unused railway line. Peter Tandy.
12th May 1990
Set: C393
51135 (C393 presumably with W51148) at Bargoed Headshunt, after arriving with the 13:04 from Barry Isle. 12th May 1990. Gazza Prescott.

Set: C397
The Monmouthshire Railway Society were renowned for their South Wales DMU tours which often had an ambitious itinerary but also reached the ends of the more unusual freight lines in the area as well. The railtour seen here is the "Caerwent Cannonball II" on May 12, 1990 which was formed of set C397 which had three brake vans, Class 116 DMBS 51136, Class 108 TBS 59248 and Class 116 DMBS 51133, and class 118 set C472 (51330 + 51315). Tour participants are seen wandering round within the dock sidings at Newport South Docks. A far cry from modern tours where alighting at the ends of freight branches is strictly forbidden. Adrian Nicholls.

The MRS (Monmouthshire Railway Society) Caerwent Cannonball II railtour is seen at the BR limit of ownership on the Uskmouth branch on 12 May 1990. The train was formed of a 2-car class 118 and 3-car class 116/108 hybrid DMU's with 51136 seen closest here. The MRS were usually able to reach the end of such lines with their tours but in 1990 the section beyond here at the 2m 74ch point where the stop board was located still belonged to the CEGB (Central Electricity Generating Board) and was out of use. Uskmouth B Power Station was still in full production but had never been upgraded to receive Merry-go-Round coal trains. It had stopped taking coal by rail in 1984 delivered in vacuum brake wagons and switched to supply by road but the branch remained in situ mothballed hence the red rust here. Adrian Nicholls.
