1860 - 'Six-coupled Goods Locomotive No. 75, Taff Vale Ry. as Originally Built.' - 'Old Mineral Locomotive' - An article which was published within 'The Locomotive' magazine during December 1903 and describing the class of loco (No. 75 having been built in 1860 at the Cardiff works) which would have undoubtedly been a regular visitor to the Ely Tidal Harbour and the Penarth Dock and Basin. I felt it worthy of inclusion within this chapter. [743] [20191018]

Mr. C. V. Allchin  within his booklet 'Locomotives of the Taff Vale Railway' published in 1944, notes that Taff Vale locomotives Nos. 250 / 264 / 265 / 270 were all rebuilt from 0-6-0's. The No. 75 was subsequently reallocated to a 0-6-2T, 'A' Class loco built by at the Vulcan Foundry in 1921. [182]
