To this day there is evidence of railway activity in the Ganllwyd valley. At Glasdir mine some rail remains embedded in concrete, bridge buttresses reveal where once the line ran and the site of the incline can be picked out through the trees. It's a beautiful, magical place, made more intriguing by the remains of the mine's hydro electric power house.
It doesn't take much to have me speculate on what might have been, in this case a ready source of electricity will see the mine branch operated by overhead electrics. A brace of Koppels have been started, component parts lie on my workbench waiting completion.
