Climbing more than 3,100 ft (1,000 metres) in a little under 5
miles (8 km), the Snowdon Mountain Railway was one of the
technological wonders of the late Victorian Age. Now over 100 years
old, it continues to transport many tens of thousands of passengers
every summer on a spectacular journey from its terminus in the
lakeside village of Llanberis to the summit of the highest mountain
in Wales. In this profusely-illustrated book, railway historian
Keith Turner tells the story of this unique line - a rack railway
still reliant on steam locomotives and carriages that first saw
service more than a century ago.
