Nocturnal at Pembrey & Burry Port 30/10/2019

On a Cold and wet evening I managed to capture Classes 60,143,56 and 70 in a half hour period passing through my home station of Pembrey & Burry Port on Wednesday the 30th of October 2019

Fantastic video Bob. Great selection of locos in such a short space of time. Nice to capture that rare combination of Class 56 & 70 on the welded rails . Brilliant. Best wishes C&A

Brave man battling against the elements ... worth it though Bob , nice showing

[@robmasterman]

I think I need a visit from the men in white coats Dave!!

[@2010ditta]

Good one Bob ..thanks for braving the elements to capture them.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Tim, with such an interesting motive power combination, I had to make the effort.

Hi Bob, nice one , on a cold wet evening ...Dave

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Dave, I don't often go out on a cold wet evening, but felt it was worth it to capture this rare event....Bob

[@TheWesternExplorer]

Nice one Bob. Photographing trains in the dark is challenging, but you did a good job. Regards Dave.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Dave, the lighting is quite low on the Station, but the camera did a great job...Regards...Bob

[@canvids1]

Thanks Bob great catches there. I get the odd train now and again hauling rails from time to time.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Wayne, it's not often that you can capture such movements as they usually happen during the early hours.

[@rogernorman]

nice one bob

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Roger, much appreciated.

[@bobnweaver]

An interesting half hour on your local station Bob. Nice night time scenes very well captured. Regards, Jeff.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Jeff, not as much available light as you get on larger stations, but the camera did well to pick up as much as it did....Regards...Bob

[@acw71000]

Nice bit of evening footage Bob, quite atmospheric

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Austin, that means a great deal.

[@locomotive6727]

Hi Bob, nice filming , came out very good ...Dave

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Dave, not easy videoing in the dark when it's windy and raining.

[@locomotive6727]

@@robmasterman .Hi Bob, you did ok ,Thanks for reply....Dave

[@SYKAROST]

Something different Bob, at least you don't have to be out late for night shots this time of year lol. Nice to be all alone too, Photters tend not to venture out in the dark & wet!! Regards, Brian.

[@robmasterman]

That's very true Brian, but this was after 11 pm, not the best time of day to be skulking in the shadows with an expensive piece of equipment....Regards....Bob

[@SYKAROST]

Haha, no wonder we are regarded as crackpots...... But yes, I know the feeling when I'm 'skulking' around Brum (even in daytime!!!)...... Brian.

[@robmasterman]

@@SYKAROST It's a burden we have to carry Brian...do we care?...Definitely not!!

[@SimonTog]

Nice video Bob :)

[@robmasterman]

Thanks very much Simon.

[@wooltman]

Love the night shots.Hope you had your brolly up Bob?.....Best wishes Chris

[@robmasterman]

No free hands to hold a brolly Chris, hand held videoing....All the Best...Bob

[@jimbojunior8236]

56 and 70 quite rare visitors this far west Bob ?

[@robmasterman]

They are indeed, and I've only seen them a few times, usually on Network Rail associated services.

[@yarisman2]

Superb video Bob. I'm glad you recorded it as I was away, thanks.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Clive, it would have been impossible to capture with a Stills camera, but just about managed it on mine....Have a wonderful time away....Bob

[@hemerdonbank]

Who said there's no variety, Bob. The 56 sounded good. Keith

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Keith, she was opened up by the kind Driver when he saw me standing there in the pouring rain in the dark.....Regards...Bob

[@stuartwarr4831]

Great set of wet, after dark shots, Bob. Do you have problems sleeping?

[@robmasterman]

I love my bed Stuart, but rare events like this will get me out, even in those conditions.

[@nigelcarter9503]

Bit wet Rob.

[@robmasterman]

It was very wet Nigel with a strong Easterly wind, not ideal for videoing.
