Newport

In the absence of visible passengers, there's a dream-like quality to this Class 33 leaving Newport in 1987, probably with a Crewe-Cardiff service. I was well aware that loco' haulage was on its way out, and photographed whatever I could - especially as my parents had just moved in with me!
