Title

Duffws Station looking towards Queen's Bridge.

Date

05/09/1906

Duffws Station looking Down towards Queen's Bridge, 5 September 1906. In the platform road is the back portion of the quarrymen's train. This might form the midweek working (the full train only running Monday and Saturday). It comprises a mk3 quarrymen's carriage, Ashbury No. 22, and Curly Roofed Van No. 1.

Aside from the usual slate waggons, the big gunpowder van nearest to camera has high sides and does not look like one of the surviving examples. The second smaller one is a similar profile to No. 152. It has extra strapping holding the body down, which usually indicates it having a wooden underframe. In-between these are a pair of wooden 4-ton coal waggons (fitted with different brake handles, one is pinned, the other ratchet). Looking further down the siding there is a large wooden open waggon, a pair of loaded wooden bolster waggons, and more coal waggons, including iron 3-ton and wooden 2-ton types.
