Ffestiniog Railway Driver s Eye View Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog ( Wales)
We start at the slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestioniog also known as the town that roofed the world. Loco No. 10 Merddin Emrys built in 1879 simmers at that platform end ready to haul the last train of the day on a glorious sunny evening. Our train traverses a narrow ledge cut into the hillside above the quarrymens cottages to Tanygrisiau, before passing the deep waters of Llyn Ystradau and plunging into the darkness of Moelwyn tunnel. The original track bed lies beneath the waters of Llyn Ystradau
