Snowdon Mountain Railway, #2 of 4, 1977 |

Here is the second of four original photos that I took in Llanberis, Wales, on 29 July 1977. Prominent here is Snowdon Mountain Railway engine #6, an 0-4-0 cog railway engine built by Swiss Locomotive and Engine Works in Winterthur, Switzerland, during 1895. In this context, it's pulling a passenger coach into the boarding area just before beginning another climb to the summit of Mount Snowdon. |

| Title: |
Snowdon Mountain Railway, #4 of 4, 1977 |
| Description: |
Here is the fourth of four original photos that I took near Llanberis, Wales, on 29 July 1977. Prominent here is the serpentine right-of-way of the Snowdon Mountain Railway as it winds its way up to the summit of Mount Snowdon. The upper path is the route to the summit for adventuresome tourists. The white specks discernable in the upper pasture are actually free ranging sheep! |
