Passengers keen to photograph the steam locomotive No. 76079 waiting to return to Machynlleth. Once a popular attraction in summer months, steam hauled trains can no longer run on the Cambrian routes because the locomotives cannot be fitted with the electronics required to operate under the ERTMS signalling system employed on the lines from Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth and from Machynlleth to Pwllheli.
