In a valley, but not the Calder.
The photographic location everyone uses ... and with good reason, when visiting the Llangollen Railway, that looking east across the level crossing at Glyndyfrdwy.
The occasion was this year's transport festival when, because of exceedingly dry weather, there was a ban on the use of steam locos. Here two cars of a visiting and beautifully restored Calder Valley DMU, set of in tendem with the railway's own Wickham unit for Langollen in the late afternoon. The Calder Valley units were 6 cylinder Rolls Royce powered and were of higher horsepower than the majority of the DMU genre in view of their intended operating terrain.
