This weekend, the Fairbourne Railway are holding their annual Steam Gala – this year, steam locomotive ‘Sian' will be visiting from the Windmill Farm Railway and also ‘Mountaineer' which is also visiting from the Windmill Farm Railway.
An intensive timetable will be in operation throughout the three days (27/28/29 May 2017). Shuttles will be performed by Sian and Mountaineer on the newly laid 15″ gauge track between Beech Road Halt and Fairbourne Station.
