37377 & 37098 Bethania 18 April 1998

37377 & 37098 weave round the reverse curves at Bethania (near Blaenau Ffestiniog) on 18 April 1998 with the Hertfordshire Railtours 1T54 14:57 Trawsfyndd to Euston 'Roman Nose' railtour. The main traction event of the tour, 59205 is just out of sight on the rear of the train. For once I was glad that the sun had gone in, as otherwise this view would have been impossibly backlit. Apart from the risk of the sun coming out at the wrong moment, this was the obvious choice of location, with the train snaking across the low viaduct, against a typical Welsh background.
