Wales Day 15 - the Welsh Highland Railway

Image
In the afternoon we made our way across to Porthmadog and on impulse booked tickets for the Welsh Highland railway, a steam railway which runs from Porthmadog to Caernarfon. We could not go all the way there as the last train back left too early but we got to just beyond Beddgelert. The afternoon still kept the stormy skies of the morning but with a glow of sun which lit the estuary at Porthmadog. We sat in an open carriage on the way out which got dramatically smokey when going through one particular tunnel. Train spotters in the open carriage
