Gorseddau Tramway
The Gorseddau Tramway was a narrow gauge railway built in Wales in 1856 to link the slate quarries around Gorseddau with the wharves at Porthmadog. It was an early forerunner of the Gorseddau Junction and Portmadoc Railway and subsequently the Welsh Highland Railway.
==Tremadoc Tramway==
The Tremadoc tramway (sometimes known as the ''Llidiartyspytty Railway'') was built by William Madocks sometime before 1842, and possibly as early as the 1830s. It connected the ironstone mine at Llidiart Yspytty to the harbour at Porthmadog. Little is known about the operation of the railway, though it is believed to have been horse worked with similar track and rolling stock to the nearby Nantlle Railway. The ironstone mine was not successful and the tramway was extended to serve a nearby slate quarry owned by the ''Bangor & Portmadoc Slate & Slab Co. Ltd.''
In 1856 the Bangor & Portmadoc Slate & Slab company requested tenders to extend the line 2¼ miles to the Gorsedda Quarry at Glan Bwll.〔''The North Wales Chronicle'' 12 April 1856〕 The engineer was Manchester-based James Brunlees.〔Captain Henry Whatley Tyler; On the Festiniog Railway for Passengers: as a 2-feet gauge, with sharp curves, and worked by locomotive engines; Institution of Civil Engineers; 11 April 1865 - post-presentation discussion〕 The extended railway, completed in 1857, was known as the Gorsedda Tramway; the correct Welsh form is Gorseddau.
