'Grid-Force' at Aberdare

            The peace and tranquility of a warm July afternoon at Aberdare is shattered by the 16-cylinder Paxman engine of Class 56 No. 56097, as it strains to restart a loaded merry-go-round working from Tower Colliery to Aberthaw Power Station. The train had been held outside Aberdare, waiting for the passenger service to clear. This view is from the 'new' Aberdare station, which opened in 1988 when passenger services were re-introduced. The Class 56 is passing the remains of the old station, Aberdare High Level, which closed in 1964 when the service was withdrawn as part of then 'Beeching-Axe', but lives on to this day as a recreational centre.
