The Ffestiniog Railway has a long pedigree stretching back to the mid-Victorian age, yet it survived until 1946, long enough for a determined group of enthusiasts to pick up the pieces in the early 1950s. Since then the FR has undergone enormous change and progress, growing in stature and reputation to become, as it claims, 'the little railway the whole world talks about'. In his earlier books on the railway author and photographer John Stretton shadowed original photographers to provide a fascinating array of past & present comparative views, showing the volume of change and how much still remains, and capturing both the magic and the potential of this most fascinating railway. In this 23rd volume in the Recollections series he presents a trip along this scenic line in a more general public and tourist approach with carefully selected views from different periods in colour and black and white.
