About this ebook
Remembered with great affection by locals and railway enthusiasts alike, the railway between Bangor and Afon Wen once carried countless holidaymakers through the Llyn peninsula. Closed like so many Welsh lines in the 1960s, today the trains of the Welsh Highland Railway run on its trackbed between Caernarfon and Dinas Junction while other parts of the former railway are used by walkers and cyclists. This photographic journey along the route will evoke nostalgic memories of this attractive line in its heyday.
