The Snowdon Mountain Railway is unique in Britain; a Swiss mountain rack & pinion railway translated to the grandeur of Snowdonia to climb Wales’ highest peak. It is usually remembered for the tragic accident on the first day of public operation in 1896, but overcame that awful event & has a well-earned place as one of the most popular tourist railways in Wales. Peter Johnson has uncovered many new insights into the railway’s fascinating history, originally built without Parliamentary authority on private land.
