Talyllyn Railway, Heritage railway in Snowdonia, Wales
The Talyllyn Railway extends 7.25 miles from Tywyn to Nant Gwernol, operating narrow-gauge steam locomotives through the Welsh mountains and valleys.
Established in 1865 for slate transportation, this railway gained legislative approval as Britain's first narrow-gauge line authorized for steam-powered passenger service.
The railway maintains strong connections to literature through Reverend W. Awdry, who incorporated his experiences into the Thomas the Tank Engine series.
Passengers can board trains at seven main stations and five halts between 9:30 and 15:30 daily, with services running throughout the calendar year.
The railway earned recognition as the world's first preserved railway in 1951, when volunteers restored operations following decades of industrial decline.
