It's fascinating to learn that the Welsh Highland Railroad is a restored railway marvel. That's why I've noticed a lot of digital traffic control systems throughout the journey. It's incredible how they've seamlessly blended the old and the modern. May the Welsh Highland Railroad continue to thrive and prosper.

I am from Scotland,if you like countryside and railways, and country pubs Wales is awesome. Been down a few times,travelled on most Welsh lines. Makes me angry when I think of the wasted opportunites in Scotlands Border Region and West Highlands. Narrow Guage would have been the answer for some closed lines,especially with the steam loco's available abroad,many built in Glasow. We have great scenery too ! Travell to some of Scotlands Tourist Spots,you cannot park,even on the closed railway land.( Which if you can costs you !) A lot of people have taken to driving on. I well remember travelling to some of these places as a child by train,seemed less congested. No doubt,some will disagree, wall to wall motor transport is the thing !

Hello, this railway closed in 1933 and that should have been the end of it, but a quirk in the law meant that the railway company could not be offically closed and its assets sold off, so the railway remained dormant until railway enthusiasts began to reopen it in 1997.

It is truely a fairytale land with its own myths and legends, even the name Beddgelert 'Gelert's Grave' is a reminder of a tale that brings a tear to many a visitors eye when they learn of the origins of towns name - According to legend, the stone monument in the field marks the resting place of 'Gelert', the faithful hound of the medieval Welsh Prince Llewelyn the Great. The story, as written on the tombstone reads: "In the 13th century Llewelyn, prince of North Wales, had a palace at Beddgelert. One day he went hunting without Gelert, ‘The Faithful Hound’, who was unaccountably absent. On Llewelyn's return the truant, stained and smeared with blood, joyfully sprang to meet his master. The prince alarmed hastened to find his son, and saw the infant's cot empty, the bedclothes and floor covered with blood. The frantic father plunged his sword into the hound's side, thinking it had killed his heir. The dog's dying yell was answered by a child's cry. Llewelyn searched and discovered his boy unharmed, but nearby lay the body of a mighty wolf which Gelert had slain. The prince filled with remorse is said never to have smiled again. He buried Gelert here".

North Wales is home to a number of fascinating narrow gauge railways, all of them well worth visiting, if you do make it there, I'm sure you will enjoy the experience, both the landscape and the coastline are very scenic.

Awesome train video.

Hello Tim, it's a pity it rained. But without rain there is no beautiful green landscape like we see in this video. It's a nice video nonetheless. Best regards

Hi, Wales without rain wouldn't be the beautiful landscape seen in this video and when the sun does shine it's worth the wait. Cheers. Tim.

What an excellent surprise! It was not even built last time I looked (I live far far away). The quality of track, route engineering, signal system, all to be proud of. (You need a hot air blower for the cams to get rid of the falling raindrops...) The locos are amazing both in their beautiful appearance and in the evident power installed. I am going to see what the internet has to say. Oh and I loved also the mini Pakistan Railways diesel at Dinas!

Hello, I used to walk the track bed when the line was closed dreaming of how the railway must have looked before the tracks were lifted and nature reclaimed the route. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever image that one day I'd be able to ride the railway!!!! Even on a rainy day it is a wonderful journey and the railway is operated using an interesting fleet of locomotives from many locations around the globe.

Beautiful chime whistles ❤

Hello, it's nice to hear from New York, I hope you enjoyed the ride 😊.

Great video! I love your videos. I'm a train driver from the Czech Republic and I like to see what it looks like in other countries. These gauge lines are very interesting. And the beautiful scenery! Thank you for these videos and sorry for me bad english ;-)

Your English is good, I'm pleased you enjoy these videos. You drive trains in a beautiful country where railways are still valued as an important part of the transport network. If you ever get to visit North Wales you will find a wonderful collection of narrow gauge railways, everyone worth visiting because they are all different in character. I love travelling by train in the Czech Republic, especially the branch lines in the Giant Mountains.

Ahh True ASMR for a trainiac.. .Thank you for this lovely ride along. :)

The sheep and little cows run and the big cows just watch. Beautiful.

Hi, the reaction of animals to passing trains varies from animal to animal, some cows even try to keep pace with the train and dogs chase them, whilst the more timid creatures run and hide. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.

Incredible. The footage at the 01:20:15 mark looks surreal.

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. At first I thought the rain would ruin the video, as it turned out, it came out surprisingly well all things considered.

Very strange but very interesting railway 😊

Hello I'm pleased you enjoyed the video and I hope you enjoy your visit as much as I enjoyed mine.

My mums hometown of Porthmadog. If she was still with us she would have loved seeing this as we’ve been in NZ for over 50 years.

When your Mum was still in Porthmadog, this railway was a footpath through the Aberglaslyn Gorge and the trains that once graced the line were confined to photographs in nostalgic books about the fabled Welsh Highland Railway. I walked parts of the old track bed 50 or more years ago with my grandfather, never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to be able to ride a train along the entire route and a bit more. Your Mum left one beautiful part of the world to move to another. Unlike many towns in the UK, Porthmadog hasn't changed much in the last 50 years, even the Ffestiniog Railway was coming back to life then. It's an awesome ride and "yes" I think your Mum would have loved seeing the wonderful Welsh countryside from a Welsh Highland Railway train.
