Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The restoration of Welsh Highland Railway has a colourful and complex history. This article provides the modern history:The Welsh Highland Railway was a poorly-funded job creation scheme that had completed the construction of the narrow gauge railway route from Dinas, three miles from Carnarvon, to Portmadoc - now Caernarfon and Porthmadog - a distance of 22 miles. It included the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways - and its Bryngwyn branch, another three miles - from Dinas to Rhyd Ddu, at the foot of Snowdon. From Rhyd Ddu to Croesor Junction some construction had been carried out by the Portmadoc, Beddgelert & South Snowdon Railway around Beddgelert in 1905/6. This was completed in 1922-23 and the route, originally intended to be electrified, adapted for steam locomotives, giving rise to the reverse curves above Beddgelert that give an even gradient of 1 in 40 (2.5%) over a slightly longer route.
