Palmerston at the Ffestiniog Railway
Built by George England Iron Works in East London, steam locomotive ‘Palmerston’ was completed in 1864. The steam locomotive was used on both the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland Railway before being withdrawn in 1937. After a lengthy overhaul, Palmerston returned to steam in 1993, currently one of two George England Locomotives in steam at the Ffestiniog Railway, along with ‘Prince’, which is soon to be joined by ‘Welsh Pony’
