Title

Blanche entering Glan y Pwll.

Date

11/12/1981

Blanche entering Glan y Pwll, 11 December 1981. Supposedly the first steam train to the newly established PW depot. Moelwyn is top and tailing at the other end. Phil Girdlestone was the driver and Dave Barlow the fireman. The train was initially double headed, with Moelwyn then running separately to help with shunting once inside the yard. Moelwyn's driver may be Fred Howes. The waggons in the PW train include the wooden bolster set, the iron bolster set, and a pair of Bocoals. The photographer is stood on the path leading to Footbridge 4.
