37417 Llanbradach 27 September 2003

37417 is pictured here at Llanbradach on 27 September 2003 with the 2R10 08:59 Cardiff Central to Rhymney service, which at this time was utilising ex Virgin Mk 2 coaches, which were almost an exact colour match for the EWS red of the locomotive. Llanbradach station has staggered platforms and with no train due in the opposite direction, there was nobody getting in the way of the picture at the critical time.
