The water escape drain was apparently blocked causing the flooding on the line and on both sides of it! Dave Gommersall.

Class 116 DMU set C395 stops at Radyr Station about 12 noon on the 27th March 1991 with an unrecorded working. The semaphores at Radyr Station just had to be photographed, and through the haze the massive Radyr Yard can be seen in the distance! Dave Gommersall.

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.

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.
