'Double Fairlie's' early departure

This second shot of three of the Ffestiniog Railway taken on 29.9.2012 at Porthmadog sees 'Double Fairlie' 0-4-4-0T No 10 Merddin Emrys speed away towards 'The Cob' tidal barrage with the day's first departure for Blaneau Ffestiniog.

 

This remarkable engine was built in the Ffestiniog's Boston Lodge Works in 1879. It's a great testament to the volunteers who've worked so tirelessly since 1955, when restoration began, to provide a unique world-class 2ft narrow gauge railway.
