Snowdon Mountain Railway, Snowdon Summit, Snowdonia National Park, Wales (UK), 2012

Snowdon Mountain Railway, Snowdon Summit, Snowdonia National Park, Wales (UK), 2012
The Snowdon Mountain Railway, while only 4.7 miles long, is so steep that it's a cog railway. It's also 2'7.5" narrow-gauge. Built in 1896, it is still partly steam powered. Here you can see both steam and diesel power. The terminal at the bottom of the mountain is at Llanberis, which is also a station on the Llanberis Lake Railway and the Carnarvonshire Railway. The Summit station is integrated into the cafe mentioned earlier.
