641 25/04 2008/04/22.RD2856 A sight not seen for many years! This is the 'top' end of the original Festiniog Railway Moelwyn Tunnel. Blocked by an internal 'plug' (see original at http://ronfisher.fotopic.net) when the Tanygrisiau lower reservoir for the pumped storage scheme was built by the C.E.G.B. in the late fifties/early sixties, the cutting was filled with rubble and the tunnel portal was mostly obscured. This has now been excavated by First Hydraulic Power so that they can inspect the plug to check on its condition. Picture kindly supplied by Bryn Williams, a Civil Engineer with First Hydraulic Power.
