Ffestiniog - Entering Moelwyn Tunnel
Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Ffestiniog - Entering Moelwyn Tunnel The new 310-yard (280 m) long Moelwyn Tunnel was constructed between 1975 and 1977 by three Cornish tin mining engineers with a small team of Ffestiniog Railway employees. It had to be blasted through a granite spur of the Moelwyn mountain. The tunnel plant included stone crushing and grading plant to produce track ballast and other aggregates from the spoil for use on the railway. Following completion the new tunnel first had to be lined throughout its length with liquid cement reinforced with steel mesh in a process called 'shotcreting'. |
