The crew of typical down train of the period stand proudly beside their charge, Double Fairlie, Livingston Thompson, in 1895-6, as an up train receives attention. The twin smoke trails, seen just beyond the ticket office, indicate that the up service is also hauled by a double engine. The small wooden building to the right of the station served as a refreshment kiosk: perhaps the driver of the Oakeley Arms Hotel's horse-drawn carriage has just "wet his whistle". "The Barn", on the left, served as a passenger shelter before being replaced by Station House in 1895-6. From Times Past - North Wales Photo Archive with the kind permission of Mr Phil Evans.
