	photo of accident at the sidings of the Llanddu Quarry showing the tramway leading from the quarry across a wooden bridge to load onto the Cambrian Railway wagons. It is believed that the loaded narrow guage wagons ran away out of control, probably due to the brakeman being unable to slow the wagons by placing a pole into the wheels to stop the trucks. These loaded wagons ran down the track and ploughed into the Crushing Plant causing a large amount of damage. Date of the two photos unknown. Source Rod Lloyd.
