More hindrance than help!
More hindrance than help!
One wheelset of the carriage had jumped the rails during a shunting move at the site of Maespoeth Junction, a short distance from Maespoeth Station platform on the Corris Railway. Intending passengers were keen to have a look before the re-railing gang were able to start work getting it back on the track.
