About this cam
A live view over Pendre Yard near Tywyn, Wales, the locomotive and carriage sheds of the Talyllyn Railway — the world's first railway saved by volunteer preservation, still shunting quarry wagons behind the yard fence.
Pendre Yard, Talyllyn Railway
Pendre station and yard sit 0.42 miles (0.68 km) from Tywyn Wharf, the western terminus of the 2ft 3in (686 mm) narrow-gauge Talyllyn Railway in Gwynedd, mid-Wales. The site has housed the railway's locomotive shed, carriage sheds and engineering works since the line opened in 1866, and passenger trains still call there by request only (Pendre is not a normal advertised stop).
The Talyllyn Railway itself was the original line built to carry slate from the Bryn Eglwys quarry down to Tywyn Wharf. It closed as a working slate railway in the early 1950s and was taken over in 1951 by the Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society — the world's first railway saved by a volunteer preservation society, and the inspiration behind the Rev. W. Awdry's Railway Series (the Skarloey Railway).
The camera is supplied by Railcam UK Ltd and streams unlisted on YouTube, embedded on the Talyllyn Railway's own webcams page alongside two other free cameras (Tywyn Wharf and Abergynolwyn station) and a fourth reserved for paying subscribers to the Talyllyn Control Centre.
What to watch for
Watch for narrow-gauge quarry hopper wagons and slate wagons being shunted in and out of the yard, and steam locomotives being prepared or stabled outside the loco and carriage sheds — the everyday maintenance side of Britain's oldest preserved railway, rather than a passing-train view.
