Dave Ruston atop Cnicht and Andy Carter atop Hunslet Diesel No. 5. Both are preparing to leave the headshunt at Pen-y-Mount. This is the only section of track anywhere on the southern part of the original Welsh Highland Railway. Beyond the buffers, the trackbed disappears into the undergrowth, to turn a few miles hence at Croesor junction and thereafter follow the Aberglaslyn Pass (just behind Andy's left elbow).
