12th May 1990
Set: C397
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.

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.
