Back in the year 2000, with clear skyes

The Snowdon Mountain Railway (SMR) (Welsh: Rheilffordd yr Wyddfa) is a narrow gauge rack and pinion mountain railway in Gwynedd, north-west Wales.
It is a tourist railway that travels for 4.7 miles (7.5 km) from Llanberis to the summit of Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales.

The SMR is the only public rack and pinion railway in the United Kingdom,
and after more than 100 years of operation it remains a popular tourist attraction.
The line is owned and operated by Heritage Great Britain plc,
operators of several other tourist attractions in the United Kingdom.


The railway is operated in some of the harshest weather conditions in Britain, with services curtailed from reaching the summit in bad weather.
Single carriage trains are pushed up the mountain by a mixture of steam locomotives and diesel locomotives.
It has also previously used diesel railcars as multiple units.
