37431+37251 Abertafol 1A84 5th Sep 1987

            Another mediocre photo to illustrate my ramblings. The New Street overnight gen proclaimed 37104 piloting 40122 on the 0940 Euston-Aberystwyth forward from Shrewsbury with the 37 coming off at Machynlleth. 37104 was not just big, it was huge & almost unheard of on passenger trains so the train was duly covered but alas the promised pilot engine failed to materialise so with the Pwllheli pair already gone I did the 40, decanting at Dovey Junction on the return. This fool's errand resulted in my covering the entire Cambrian network behind 40122 on service trains by default as I also had it out of Pwllheli the previous year when the booked 37 pair were swapped to a railtour. As the day progressed I managed to claw back a little credibility by making the 1A84, 1530 Pwllheli-Euston at Aberdovey. 37431+37251 are seen here about to enter the 219 yard Morfa Bach/Aberdovey No.2 Tunnel as we pass through the site of Abertafol Halt on Saturday 5th September 1987.
