CONSERVING OUR HERITAGE WAGGONS... Our second topic in this year's #LoveYourRailway campaign is all about - Conservation..! Back in the 1830s, the Ffestiniog Railway was established as a freight railway, opening for the transport of slate and other goods some 30 years before passengers were (officially) carried on its tracks. During this period, many hundreds of waggons of various types were constructed - the most numerous being slate waggons. Today, we are fortunate to have a large fleet of heritage waggons - many surviving as built in the mid-Nineteenth century, others modified for a change of use over the years - and a growing collection of replica vehicles.Earlier this year, our now Engineering Volunteers Leader, Iain Wilkinson, took us on a ‘behind the scenes’ look at the Waggon Tracks project - established to preserve, conserve, maintain and display our unique collection.Watch the video here; www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxzR73f0c4EIt’s hugely important that we continue to prioritise these conservation projects so that future generations can delve into the long and prestigious history of our railway.Yet again, this is one of the many reasons why we LoveOurRailway! ...
