Barmouth viaduct Swing Bridge.

A view from the Barmouth side of this impressive viaduct showing far more detail of the old swing-bridge. Unfortunately it no longer swings but it functions quite well as a rail bridge. We see here too some pedestrians talking a stroll over the viaduct for which there is normally a small toll.
The train is in fact a tfw (Transport for Wales) Class 158 DMU doing the Cambrian Coastal route from Pwllheli to Mchynelleth, possibly the 2J23 service.

See next photo for another view of this bridge.

This bridge and viaduct has a lot going for it as far as wee photographers are concerned. A fine walk to be had over it too. A lot to see full screen.
