Slate Slab Wagon at WHHR

Description

An old slate slab wagon is parked at the entrance to the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway (WHHR) station in Porthmadog.  I am not sure which quarry used this car -- perhaps Maenofferen, Oakeley, or New Rhosydd -- but it is a fairly typical slab wagon, which carried slabs of uncut slate from the active surface of the quarry to the mill where slate was cut.  This horizontal design, which rests the slate on runners, is more common than the vertical design, and the double-flanged wheels have also appeared on some quarry rolling stock.
