Thank youNo, KriegslokBR52. The Welsh Highland Railway narrow gauge line ends at the station. The station buildings accommodate the booking office, a tourist shop and passenger facilities. In the winter of 2005/06 the passenger platform and run around loop at Caernarfon were lengthened to permit the operation of trains up to 10 carriages long.
The railway line was originally standard gauge operated by the London & North Western Railway and continued through a tunnel to their station in Caernarfon. When the line closed the track was lifted. What you think is a locomotive shed is actually the tunnel; now used as a walkway and road.
The WHR bought the trackbed and laid their narrow gauge track in its place. The WHR fell on hard times and is now operated by the Ffestiniog Railway Company.

Great shotHere's quick shot (ie not that great) shot of MRL 290 bringing up the rear of a quartet of helpers working to shove a coal train into a siding on the hill to let one of those hot intermodals pass by.
