Devils Bridge Mountain Railway Journey - By Steve J Huggett

Took a trip up to Devils Bridge for a trip on the mountain railway, as I had been told the view down the Rheidol Valley is amazing. But go before the trees get their leaves otherwise you won't see much, I have to say they were right the view was quite something.

Opened in 1902, this powerful narrow gauge steam locomotive works hard to climb 700ft (200m) in the 11¾ miles from Devil's Bridge to Aberystwyth.

It was quite a job getting the photo's as you can imagine its not the smoothest of rides lol Plus the barrier to stop me falling out was a little low, mind you are not supposed to be standing up!

I <3 trains!

There's quite a few of these narrow gauge trains around Wales.
