Summary

Description
English: Severn Tunnel Junction Yards, with Up iron ore empties.

View westward, towards Newport, Cardiff etc.; ex-Great Western South Wales main line. The photograph was taken from the bridge on the road to Rogiet Moor. The train is on the Up Slow line and passing Severn Tunnel Junction Middle Box. The locomotive is ex-War Department 2-8-0 No. 90315 - in unusually clean condition. The Yards were then in full use - the Down Yard being off to the right, the Up Yard beyond the signalbox.

The whole Yard, although not the running lines, ceased to function from October 1987 and nowadays the M4 runs beside the site after bridging the Second Severn Crossing.
