 Trackbed of the former Welsh Highland Railway (WHR), opened in 1923, but closed to traffic at the end of 1931. Reopened by the Festiniog Railway in 1934, but only operated until September 1936 for passengers and May 1937 for goods. Not so far from the Talyllyn Railway, the first in the world to be run by volunteers from 1951 onwards, the WHR has been rebuilt in one of the epics of railway restoration, and now runs trains between Porthmadog and Caernarfon. |
