An exceedingly rare location for a National Power Class 59. On a dull misty 16 November 1996, just as it was getting dark, 59204 passes through Barry station en-route from Avonmouth to Aberthaw Power Station, where it would be named Vale of Glamorgan by the then Welsh Secretary, William Hague MP. The choice of location was ideal, as not only is it an immediately identifiable location with the added bonus of semaphore signalling, but also in view of the grim weather the train's slow speed through the station meant I was able to take this picture in colour as well as the more appropriate to the conditions black & white. However the exposure was only 1/125sec with the lens wide open!
