Llanberis Lake Railway, 2011

28 photos of this 2ft gauge line and the Welsh National Slate Museum. Both are derived from the Dinorwic slate quarry, which once employed over 3000 men, but closed in 1969.

Vivian incline, Dinorwig quarry, near Gilfach Ddu, Llanberis, Sun 21 August 2011. This is the lowest of the ladder of inclnes seen in my opening shot of the quarry. They carried 2ft gauge wagons, four of which can be seen on the transporters in this view from a Llanberis Lake Rly train. The incline was restored in 1998 and is now operational. The 2ft gauge wagons were carried on the 4ft gauge Padarn Rly to Port Dinorwic.
