Операции по добыче сланца на Уэльской Хайлендской железной дороге

Первоначальная Уэльская Хайлендская железная дорога (WHR) была обязана своим существованием узкоколейным железным дорогам и трамваям, построенным для обслуживания коммерческих перевозок сланца из сланцевых карьеров и других операций по добыче полезных ископаемых на ее маршруте.

Во время Первой мировой войны помимо шифера другие материалы, такие как древесина, перевозились по узкоколейным железным дорогам Северного Уэльса , предшественнику северной половины Уэльской Хайлендской железной дороги, из пристройки Беддгелерт-Форест. Одним из недавних предложений по вновь открытому WHR является возобновление перевозки древесины с предприятия Комиссии по лесному хозяйству в лесу Бедгелерт, через который проходит линия. ^{[ 1 ]}

Крестовый трамвай

[ редактировать ]

Трамвай Croesor был построен для перевозки сланца из карьеров Croesor и New Rhosydd . Трамвай Croesor шел из Портмадока с 1863 года в долину Croesor, чтобы обслуживать сланцевые карьеры в этом районе. Это была линия, работающая на лошадях, с номинальной шириной колеи 2 фута. Участок пути WHR, который был вновь открыт в 2009/2010 году между Понт-Крезором и Портмадогом, повторяет первоначальное полотно трамвая.

Затем железная дорога была продлена веткой от перекрестка Трифан, чтобы соединиться с веткой карьера Хафод-и-Верн и Гланрафоном, где были подъездные пути.
