Tale of two sidings - 67014
Nearest to the camera are the so called 'quay' sidings, out of use since probably the 1990's. This estimation is backed up by the almost red coating of rust on the rails (well, tell a lie, a track machine got as far as the bridge in 2010, but nothing's gone beyond for a long time, surely). They, as well as the main line, cross over the A55 expressway here at Llandudno Junction. Passing by hurriedly is 67014 wearing a dirtied wintertime coat of defunct paint and propelling the 13:07 Holyhead - Manchester Piccadilly service.
This is photographed from the footbridge linking the cob to the RSPB path and, not being a 7ft tall man, it's impossible to see over the top. After a few years worth of unsuccessful haphazard shots from esti-aiming the camera, I packed into my bag about eight hardback books and used this as elevation. It only barely worked even then!
