Title
Garratt K1 at Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Date
26/03/1966
Garratt K1 on route to Porthmadog, seen here on the A470 at Blaenau Ffestiniog. It was being delivered from Beyer Peacock's Gorton Foundry in Manchester. The Pickfords lorry is a Scammell Highwayman. The locomotive's power units and tanks were transported separately. To the left can be seen the outskirts of the ex-LNWR exchange yard, whilst in the background Glan y Don tip can be glimpsed, along with Oakeley Quarry's Spion Kop incline. This connected down to Pont Goch ( the Welsh Slate Company's viaduct) which in turn led to Glan y Don.
