For most of its length the Llangollen Railway follows the side of the River Dee and for the most part this means it is tucked under the slopes of the Berwyns on the southern side of the valley. Near Carrog the Dee meanders to the north and the railway track does too. In mid-winter the sun only just gets above the hillside and even then it's only for the northern side of the floodplain. GWR 5199 is seen leaving Carrog and just about to leave behind the sunshine as the Dee and the track bend south towards the steep wooded slopes and the shade.
