Farm Buildings, Trwyn-y-garnedd The A487 is one of the most important roads in Wales. It covers the majority of the west coast from St Davids to Menai Bridge, and is a primary route for most of its length, including a section where it multiplexes with the A470, another important north-south road. Along the way, it runs through two national parks: Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire Coast. Despite its length and importance, it is predominantly single carriageway, although the road has been upgraded in numerous places. It is 174 miles long. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A487" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A487">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

'Earl of Merioneth' at Penrhyndeudraeth – 1970 Heading towards Portmadoc with a train of 'Centenary Stock'. The location is almost identical to Peter Trimming's 2013 view <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3367317" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3367317">Link</a> but there are significant changes. The station has lost its passing loop and siding, and the locomotive, although carrying the same name, is completely different, being built new between 1972 and 1979 as a replacement for the locomotive in my view. The first 'Earl of Merioneth' was withdrawn in 1971 with a view to rebuilding, but pressure to retain it in its still (more or less) original condition finally led to it being cosmetically restored under its original name of 'Livingstone Thompson'. In 2021 it is on loan to the National Railway Museum at York <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6981009" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6981009">Link</a>
