RD26017vsa. MERDDIN EMRYS +RUSSELL.

RD26017vsa. 100 years ago, on the 1st June, 1923, the 2 foot gauge Welsh Highland Railway reached Portmadoc (now Porthmadog) and joined up with the Festiniog Railway (spelt with only one F in those days) at the Harbour Station. The present day Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways organisation, in collaboration with the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, celebrated this event with a gala 100 years later over the weekend 23rd to 25th June, 2023.

Various special trains were run over the weekend and this one is an unusual double header combination of the Ffestiniog Railway’s Double-Fairlie 0-4-4-0T MERDDIN EMRYS and the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway’s Hunslet 2-6-2T RUSSELL. The pair are entering Porthmadog Harbour Station having been for a trip over the Welsh highland Railway.
