37902 Carmarthen 16 November 1996

37902 accelerates away from Carmarthen station on 16 November 1996 with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z37 07:45 Birmingham New Street to Fishguard Harbour 'Dyfed Docker' railtour. Carmarthen station is now on a short dead end line that branches off the Cardiff to Fishguard route. It would have been perfectly possible for this train to have used the direct line, but as it was top'n'tailed with 37412, it was no hardship to make the short detour into Carmarthen, where a short break was taken. The line originally carried on past the road bridge that can just be seen in the background, with cross country routes radiating out to such places as Newcastle Emlyn, Lampeter and a connection with the Central Wales line at Llandeilo.
