A rare view of an oil-burning 2-8-0 on an Up freight at Briton Ferry station.
View northward, towards Neath, Swansea etc.. The locomotive is of particular interest, being one of 20 28XX 2-8-0s temporarily converted to burn oil in the abortive scheme of 1945-47: this locomotive (No. 2854) was converted in 11/45, renumbered 4801 in 11/46 and converted back to coal-burning in 2/49. The station was closed 2/11/64 (goods 6/9/65) but reopened 1/6/94 for local services.
