Prince entering the Aberglaslyn Pass in October 2008

Prince is (probably) the third locomotive built for the FR. It was delivered to the FR in January 1864. The engine was originally named The Prince in honour of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales. The name was shortened to Prince in 1892. Prince played a major role in the history of the WHR and later became the first steam locomotive to run on the restored FR. It is seen here entering the Aberglaslyn Pass, one of the most spectacular stretches of the WHR, in October 2008.
