37411 Bargoed 28 May 2005

Freshly repainted into 1960s green livery, 37411 (D6990) approaches Bargoed on 28 May 2005 with the 2F30 13:15 Rhymney to Cardiff Central service. 37411 had originally emerged from the English Electric Vulcan Foundry in this livery as D6990 in June 1965, and would later become 37290 with the advent of TOPS, and finally 37411 upon ETS conversion in 1985. The amount of vegetation growth in just six weeks since I took a picture of 37425 (also coincidentally ex-works) at this location is very striking.
