Title

Gunpowder Van at Porthmadog Harbour Station.

Date

31/08/1956

Gunpowder Van in use as a cement waggon at Porthmadog Harbour Station, 31 August 1956. It has been given Old Company number plate No. 36, but was subsequently numbered 152 in the new series. These vehicles, although built at Boston Lodge, were not railway property and as such would not have been numbered in Old Company days. Coupled to it is one of the granite waggons (converted from 3-ton slate). Brown Marshalls Van No. 5 (Carriage 12) is parked in the platform road.
