In the mid 70's a tradgedy on the Penarth Line as a man tries to take a short cut across the line from Cogan to the Price Bros Woodyard that stood where Tesco's is today. He was hit by a train, and word spread rapidly around the town. I cycled down from the Pandora Cafe and took these pictures.

Intitially I was going to bin this blurred shot of A4 60019 Bittern at Cogan. The picture was taken in near dark conditions. But I decided I liked all the movement going on here. So I've kept it in. View On Black
