| The Talyllyn is a narrow gauge line using steam locomotives on all advertised passenger trains. It was opened in 1865 and runs inland from Tywyn to Nant Gwernol. Much of the railway is within the Snowdonia National Park. In 1950 the railway was saved from closure by the Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society - the first such organisation in the world. The railway is now strongly supported by the Society whose members provide the train crew and station staff required to operate the line. Members also assist with maintenance work and with many other activities. - the line runs from Tywyn to Nant Gwernol via Dolgoch Falls and Abergynolwyn - there is a Narrow Gauge Railway Museum at the Tywn Wharf station |
