A HISTORIC steam train was snapped as it passed through Rhyl.

This week's photograph was captured by Alison Jones as part of a #LoveRhyl tourism project. Hundreds of railway enthusiasts gathered to watch the LMS Royal Scot Class 4-6-0 no 46100 Royal Scot being hauled from Crewe to Holyhead and back to Crewe on April 14.

Alison, who works at Glan Clwyd hospital and the Royal Alexandra in Rhyl, said: "I am like a tortoise searching for daylight, travelling around North Wales, tramping the streets with my camera rucksack - just like my postman grandad.

"It is great to be able to contribute to showing the positive aspects of Rhyl."

Alison has been selected alongside nine other amateur photographers as a Rhyl ‘Instagram champion’. Each week, the Journal is featuring the work of one of the champions.
