More about this scene
Here we see a train nearing the summit at Snowdon. One of the Swiss-built steam locomotives propels the standard single coach up the final leg; the railway starts near the Victoria Hotel, 350ft above sea level, and there are four intermediate stations before the summit is reached. A return trip takes some two hours. Snowdon consists of four rugged and precipitous ridges separated by 100ft-deep hollows, and is formed of slate and porphyry.
