 |  Four cattle wagons, the first being numbered 13758, stand next to the ‘Loco’ shed at Trawsfyydd, on the line leading to the cattle dock behind the signal box. A fully loaded coal wagon labelled G W with LOCO stencilled across its top is standing on the goods shed road ready to be propelled through. Coaling of locomotives was carried out on the opposite side of the goods shed as the line the cattle wagons are on dropped in level towards the dock, making it easier to transfer coal from wagon to engine bunker. A wagon in use labelled G W with LOCO COAL ONLY across the top can be glimpsed above the roof of the second wagon, still partially full. | |
