Maespoeth departure 20210901--489

Corris Railway no. 4 Edward Thomas (Kerr Stuart 4074, built in 1921) runs through Maespoeth station with a goods train, heading up the valley to Corris. [Pole, 2/6 sections (~2.7m)]

Taken on the first day of a two-day photo charter organised by David Williams, while the loco was visiting from its normal home on the Talyllyn Railway.

The train is running past the original platform at this station. After reopening in preservation, the site was expanded here (there's a new carriage shed off to the left, at a lower level) and a run-round loop was installed south of the original platform (it's visible in the background, by the signalbox). As this was going to be the southern terminus of the line for quite a number of years (the trackbed needs rebuilding south of here, as the original was used to allow the parallel road to be widened - including using vast quantities of stone to raise the land), a new platform was built beside the loop.

I only used the pole to see over other people's heads, including those stood on ladders.
