Phantom Ride: Menai Straits (1904)
 

Synopsis

Warning: screenonline full synopses contain 'spoilers' which give away key plot points. Don't read on if you don't want to know the ending!

Views of a rail journey through Wales from the front of a moving train. The train pulls out of a station and crosses a bridge (possibly Conwy railway bridge) over the Menai Straits (possibly the River Conwy). It travels through a tunnel with a distinctive castle motif that mirrors the genuine castle alongside. Once through the tunnel, the train travels around a track and is passed by another train.

It passes through another tunnel and heads towards an archway. On another track it passes through an archway and pulls into a station platform, where passengers wait to board.
