Bristol East Yard
The early 1980s. Obviously a large reballasting job coming up. Mostly DOGFISH with some MERMAIDS, SEALIONS and old & new SEACOWS (far right). SHARK in foreground. Note slag ballast DOGFISH with extra extension boards on the hopper (left middle). A GWR TOAD Brake Van is hiding from the breaker's yard at the rear. When this photo was taken the yard, and sidings nearby, contained over 100 Dogfish, or around 10% of the total fleet.
