Another line-up of wagons laden with anthracite awaiting shipment at Swansea. Those filled with graded nuts in the foreground are difficult to identify, except that 'Ammanford' and 'Stanllyd' s visible on that second
from the camera and the third belongs to Thomas T. Pascoe. Those in the next siding are most interesting, they are from the International Colliery at Abercrave, from the short time that it was under the ownership of the French Anthracite Company. They appear to be painted grey with white letters shaded black and are of various origins with variations in the lettering, probably hired. Further along this line is a wagon lettered International from the same colliery. Only two wagons can be identified in the next row, both are from the Gwendraeth Colliery, while those in the next siding have no identifiable markings. In the following row, there are several from Evans & Bevan and further back wagons from Park & Blaina and Rhos. This kaleidoscope emerges from wagons originating from Breconshire, West Glamorgan and Carmarthenshire and located on several different pre-grouping railway companies which eventually formed the Great Western Railway.






The photo of the New Cross Hands Colliery, taken during the time of Cleeves ownership, shows that wagons inherited from the various component companies were intermingled and despatched to wherever they were required. Wagons from New Cwmgorse and Western Valleys can be seen, along with several others which cannot be identified. This photograph also shows that the New Cross Hands Colliery was far more substantial than most and of more organised appearance.

The Charles Roberts built wagon, No. 813, is from an order for one hundred wagons and built in 1906.  It has side and end doors, brakes one side only and measures 15ft 6in. x 7ft 0in. x 4ft 0in.  Italic letters at bottom left read 'Empty Via Pantyffynnon. G.W.Ry' and at the base of the door 'Repairs Advise Swansea'.  The wagon was painted 'colcothar' (also known as Paris Red) with white letters shaded black and black corner plates and ironwork.
