A Bridge too far?

This morning dawned bright and early and I was off to Minffordd yard with the camera to record the new Tan y Bwlch footbridge being transported. It has been sitting on a flat wagon in the coal road for some time but yesterday it was shunted into the main part of the yard in readiness for its trip today.

Four of us rode on the bridge which was propelled up the line by Hunslet diesel Moel Hebog. All went as planned and it was shunted into the short siding at the top end of TYB. After a cup of tea we returned to Minffordd dropping off some bricks and cement for the drains gang to use later this weekend.

I have done a quick edit which timed out at about fourteen minutes but won't upload this till the bridge is craned into place, however I've also chopped it down to three minutes so you can see what I was up to.
