Yule Logs at Middletown
97304 with 37405 tucked inside work 6C56, the 09.50 Aberystwyth Krono Colas to Chirk Kronospan Colas Rail through Middletown, south of Shrewsbury, 21.12.24 The second week in succession that the Aberystwyth flow has been run after a lull for 3 months or so. Perhaps due to the rumoured Baglan Bay flow of logs being ceased perhaps? I did photograph last weeks flow too, but not uploaded the image so far, a difficult line to catch a good image due to the line being very tree'd up. Middletown is close to the English border and within 20 minutes the freight will have reached Shrewsbury, where 66792 was waiting to take over.
