Snowdon Mountain Railway         
The Snowdon Mountain Railway, while only 4.7 miles long, is so steep that its a cog railway. Its also 27.5" 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 at the summit.
