Snowdon, Snowdon Mountain Railway 1896
Photo ref:

More about this scene
Visitors came in increasing numbers after the Snowdon Mountain Railway opened in 1896, which provided easy access to the summit for hundreds of holidaymakers. The railway is the only rack railway in Britain, and runs for just over four-and-a-half miles from Llanberis to Snowdon Summit. This view shows the brand-new locomotive No 3, 'Wyddra', ascending out of Llanberis towards Snowdon—the rack is clearly visible. The line climbs over 3,000ft, with an average gradient of 1 in 7.
