Cambrian Coast Steam

10th August 2007

West Coast Railways ran a steam train Monday-Fridays during August 2007 between Machynlleth and Porthmadog. This train is very quiet and could not run next summer. We caught the 07:55 from Porthmadog to Dovey Junction to return on the steam train.


The locomotive used was Ian Riley's BR Standard 2-6-0 4MT No. 76079, seen arriving at Dovey Junction


... runs round at Porthmadog ...


... and back onto the stock


The stock is shunted into the sidings for the return working

There are two views of last years southbound steam departing near Porthmadog.
