Well, not really. But a cute and clever promotional gimmick:

This is much faster than when I rode in 2011.
Seriously, I enjoyed the quick trip.

The entire one way to Caenarfon(sp) is about twenty five miles.
This seems about half way.

Fun video!

From a section foreman's point of view, I'm very impressed with that track. Nice and smooth, good surface and line, and lots of ballast, many class 1 branch line railroads don't look that good.
