Along with many other railways, the FR has in the past operated during the Xmas/New Year period.

Heavy snowfalls on this day made the whole area around the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways quite treacherous to negotiate - except by train! Here are some photographs of the line and surrounding scenery under the white blanket.

The Ffestiniog Railway in the Snow

	From the Cob looking up the Traeth
From the Cob again
	A cold magical scene of the trees in white
There's still time for a chat with the Driver
	Some brave family watches the steam loco receive its liquid refreshment at Tan y Bwlch
Rounding Tank curve approaching Campbell's Platform
	Llyn Ystradau at its best
Another refill at Blaenau Ffestiniog Station and ready for the return
