Snowdon Mountain Railway train 'derails' on Yr Wyddfa
Services were halted after the incident in which no-one was injured on the Clogwyn Loop.     Thank goodness for that as the incident could have been much more serious

I came across this short video of the old railway line of Cwm Prysor and it made me realise what a wonderful piece of engineering this was.  It must have been one of the most picturesque train rides in North Wales
