Views of the tramway route in Cwm Croesor
Looking
up the incline to Rhosydd, the incline drum is just below the skyline.
It
is 670 feet to the top!
Near
the bottom of the incline are several ruined wagons,
victims
of derailments and runaways many years ago.
The
V junction of the tramways to Croesor Quarry (left) and Rhosydd Quarry.
Near
the head of the Blaen y Cwm incline.
Blaen
y Cwm incline, this marks the end of the almost level section along Cwm
Croesor.
This
building, at the bottom of the incline, was formerly the power station
for Croesor Quarry
and
was built for Moses Kellow's electrification of that quarry in 1904.
Some years ago, after many
years
disuse, it was converted back into a hydro-electric power station.
The
lower of the two inclines which once carried slate from Pant Mawr Quarry.
Cnicht
rises on the left with the tramway now on an embankment.
This
view is below Croesor village.
The
only overbridge on the tramway was this now sorry looking specimen.
