60081 Bridgend Cowbridge Road 22 April 1995

60081 Bleaklow Hill passes Bridgend Cowbridge Road on 22 April 1995 with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z60 13:27 Bridgend Ford Works to Cardiff Central 'Scrummager 3.1' railtour. It is approaching Bridgend East Junction on the Vale of Glamorgan Line, which at this time was a freight only route. Judging by the colour of the track in front of 60081, there hasn't been much traffic on the down line recently. Believe it or nor the diminutive brown and white building near the rear of the train is Cowbridge Road Signal Box. This closed in 2013. Although the white building in the background survives, the gas holder has gone, and the wasteland is now an industrial estate.
