10 mNewport Station, with the Up Red Dragon express View NW, from the main Down platform; ex-Great Western main lines from London, Bristol etc., also Gloucester, Birmingham etc. and Hereford, Shrewsbury and the North-west, to Cardiff, Swansea and West Wales. Several lines from the Eastern and Western Valleys also came to Newport, making it one of the busiest railway stations in Britain, with about 250 trains (two-thirds being freight trains, which passed on the two centre lines) passing each way every 24 hours. The 'Red Dragon' was the 07.30 Carmarthen to Paddington, on this day headed (from Swansea) by BR Standard Class 7 'Britannia' 4-6-2 No. 70029 'Shooting Star'.

14 m'Merry-go-round' iron-ore empties passing Newport Station with two Type 3 Diesels View eastwards, towards the East, North and South-West generally; ex-GWR South Wales main line. To supply the vast new Steelworks opened by Richard Thomas & Baldwin in 1962 at Llanwern, imported iron ore brought into Newport Docks had to be moved for a short journey through Newport High Street Station, in five trains a day each of 2,700 tons. The image shows a train of empties returning from Llanwern. From the outset the new Type 3 (later Class 37) Diesels were employed in pairs, but from 2/1976 after a new ore terminal was opened at Port Talbot the journey was rather longer and from 1979 Class 56 locomotives were used. The two locomotives here are Nos. D6857 and D6851, both delivered just a month earlier from the English-Electric/Vulcan Foundry, these Type 3 1,750hp Co-Co's having been introduced in 12/60. (See also ST3088: Down iron ore train entering Newport High Street Station, taken on the same day).
