As "Millennium" passes under the road bridge into Waunfawr station the driver opens up
the regulator for the climb ahead.

Early morning sunshine and Snowdon in the background as the freight heads on to Rhyd Ddu.


The freight enters Rhyd Ddu station.This is the newly opened terminus of the WHR.


The engine has now run round its train at Rhyd Ddu.
The two photographers coaches can now be seen next to the locomotive.


The train is now seen on the sharp curves just outside Rhyd Ddu, lit by the early morning sunshine.


Another shot of steam super power in Snowdonia, as the freight continues to Waunfawr, bound for Dinas.


A final shot at Betws Garmon as I head back to my Waunfawr holiday base for breakfast!
