Built on a gauge of 2 feet 3 inches, the Talyllyn Railway is one of
a number of narrow-gauge lines in north and mid Wales built in the 19th
century to carry slate. Opened in 1865, the line runs the seven and
a quarter miles from Tywyn (on the Cardigan Bay coast) to Nant Gwernol,
from where a series of horse-drawn tramways continued into the mountains.
The slate traffic ceased in 1946 following a serious rock fall in the
quarry. |
