Restored Porthmadog steam train back on track

Help

Three men have been reunited with a restored steam train they worked on 60 years ago.

The former Gwynedd quarrymen have attended a rededication service to the Hugh Napier at Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway's Harbour Station in Porthmadog, on Friday.

The train, built 100 years ago, shunted slate rubble from Penrhyn Quarry in Bethesda to the tip until abandoned on a track in 1954.

It has undergone painstaking restoration since 1966.

Matthew Richards reports.
