Chester - Pwllheli train near Drwys-y-Nant view NE, towards Bala Junction, Llangollen and Ruabon; ex-GW Ruabon - Dolgellau - Barmouth line (closed 18/1/65).

The train has just crossed over the Afon Ty Cerig (a subsidiary of the Afon Winion) and a minor road which serves a number of small settlements one of which is Dolddeuli which is situated on the opposite side of the line (hidden behind the train). The line in this section had to be laid on numerous small embankments and small cuttings as the railway crossed numerous rivers and streams. Only the riverside bridge abutment remains today, and although the embankment remains reasonably intact it is almost indistinguishable as it's now covered with mature trees.


The locomotive is Churchward 43XX 2-6-0 No. 6316 (built 1/21, withdrawn 7/62). On the right behind are the slopes of Aran Benllyn (2,901 ft.).
