82000 1964 Aberystwyth

82000 1964 Aberystwyth

Shunting fuel tanks, a staple revenue source for the Cambrian Coast line until at least the late 1970s.

Peter Kerslake says "1964 was destined to be the final year for steam workings on the Cambrian network, with Diesel Multiple Units taking over passenger duties at short notice with effect from mid January of 1965 at a time when freight traffic was rapidly diminishing on the network as well.
82000 seen here marshalling a couple of tank wagons displays her large capacity water tanks in this view, a feature which allowed the class to work long distance rosters over the Cambrian network from their introduction in the mid 'fifties."
