Class NGG16 'Garrett' No.87 at Nantmor Road, WHR, Wales.
At the risk of getting trench foot and in heavy rain I secured this shot of South African Railway class NGG16 No.87 climbing the gradient from Pont Croesor towards the Aberglaslyn Pass at milepost 19 on the Welsh Highland Railway with the 11.00 Porthmadog Harbour to Caernarfon. The cloud base had descended to little more than 100ft and it was more like December than late September so photography further up the line was out of the question as Beddgelert was in the clouds.
This Garrett type locomotive which is a 2-6-2+2-6-2 was built Cockerill in Belgium for use in South Africa and dates from 1936.
