Near site of Cwm-y-glo station towards Llanberis Pass. View SE on A4086 near Llyn Padarn, the railway having been off frame to the left: ex-LNW Caernarvon - Llanberis branch. The station was closed to regular passenger services from 22/9/30 (goods 29/6/64), but the excursions ran to Llanberis until 7/9/62 (goods 7/12/64). This is the way to Snowdon and its Mountain Railway - off to the right: in the centre background is Elidir Fawr (3,026 ft.).
