With Lydney's Parish church in the background, the fireman of ex GWR 2-6-2T No. 5521 prepares to hand over the token to the signalman at Lydney Junction on Saturday 26th June, while arriving with a service from Parkend. The train is passes the site of the former junction of the freight only branch to Lydney Docks which used to cross the main Newport to Gloucester line on a flat crossing a little further south. 5521 is also the locomotive that spent some time touring Eastern Europe in 2008.
