59205 L Keith McNair slowly negotiates the Blaenau Ffestiniog to Trawsfyndd branch on 18 April 1998 with the Herfordshire Railtours 1T54 07:56 Euston to Trawsfyndd 'Roman Nose' railtour. The location is Bethania, just south of Blaenau Ffestiniog. I had looked out this position as being a good spot to show the train against the typically imposed welsh background. My main memory of this occasion is of a local farmer who started ranting at another photographer who was in his field (just to my left) and having to listen to this increasingly bitter exchange as the train slowly appeared around the corner and hoping that it wouldn't involve me! |
