Wales: Ffestioniog Rlwy, 1985

Post by Steve Appleton »

Posted for the photgrapher, Dennis Mitchell:
In 1985, while in U.K., we decided to "do" all the Welsh lines. But, after visiting Bala Lake, we arrived at Ffestiniog and felt so welcomed by the Boston Lodge men that our remaining time of 4-5 days was spent on this great line. Apparently the Celtic Welsh don't like the double "f" but that is the railway's name.

Pic 2. Blanche x Linda somewhere on this line (I was cab-riding Blanche and Lance Makings was cab-riding Linda).
