143615 Cogan 19 April 1997

143615 rounds the sharp curve on the approach to Cogan station with the 13:30 Treherbert to Barry Island Cardiff Railway service on 19 April 1997. The A4055 road bridge spanning the Ely River dominates the background. Cogan Junction is just round the corner to the left, and the single track branch to Penarth can be seen just behind the train. 143615 sustained severe fire damage in 2005 and was cut up at Cardiff the following year.
143617 Yatton 30 June 2001

143617 calls at Yatton station on 30 June 2001 with the 09:37 Taunton to Bristol Temple Meads Wales & West service. Yatton was once the junction for the Clevedon branch and the cross country line to Wells and Shepton Mallet. As can be seen here, a surprising amount of steam age buildings and fittings still survives, although the footbridge does look a little strange without its roof.
143617 Malago Vale 8 May 2004

143617 heads south past Malago Vale in the drizzle on 8 May 2004 with the 09:12 Bristol Parkway to Weston-super-Mare First Great Western service. This is the bottom end of FGW's pecking order of rolling stock, with of course the HST sets being at the top!
143618 Flax Bourton 11 August 2007

143618 passes Flax Bourton on 11 August 2007 with the 14:02 Bristol Parkway to Weston-super-Mare First Great Western service. Largely hidden behind the bushes in the background is the once rail served oil depot, the headshunt for which can just be seen under the farm occupation bridge in the distance.
143619 Llandevenny 17 July 2002

143619 shows off its 'Visit Bristol' advertising vinyls as it scuttles past Llandevenny with the 10:00 Cardiff Central to Bristol Temple Meads Wales & Borders Trains service on 17 July 2002. The line in the background is the up relief line which has just crossed over the main lines via the Bishton Flyover.
143624 Rangeworthy 8 May 1995

143624 bounces along past Rangeworthy on 8 May 1995 with the late running 07:28 Bristol Temple Meads to Gloucester Regional Railways service. Note that the last two digits of the unit number have been reapplied in a larger size. Quite why this is I'm not sure, as the unit doesn't appear to have been reformed, which is the usual reason for such mismatched numbers.
