Title
Simplex Mary Ann on the first revenue earning passenger train.
Date
23/07/1955
Simplex Mary Ann with the first revenue earning passenger train on the re-opened railway, 23 July 1955. The locomotive is entering Porthmadog Harbour Station with Brown Marshalls Van No. 5 and ex-WHR Ashbury summer carriage No. 23.

Photograph almost certainly taken on the early slow (ISO 12) Kodachrome with zero exposure latitude, and which renders the FR green much darker than it actually was.

The figure on the left of the footplate is train guard Michael Seymour. Allan Garraway is the driver. Les Smith and David Laing far right.
