Cambrian Steam Summer 2009
24th July 2009

I hope the weather's better tham 2008-first 2 weeks of August look a mix of sun and showers!

It wiil be sad if this is the last season a steam train runs along the Cambrian. I'm making more of an effort to get more pictures this year so I hope you enjoy them, and enjoy a ride on the train itself.

Latest Pictures added 3.8.09.
