List of stations and halts on the Talyllyn Railway
This is a list of the stations and halts on the Talyllyn Railway ((ウェールズ語:Rheilffordd Talyllyn)), a narrow gauge preserved railway line running for from Tywyn on the Mid-Wales coast to Nant Gwernol near the village of Abergynolwyn. The line was opened in 1866 to carry slate from the quarries at Bryn Eglwys to Tywyn, and was the first narrow gauge railway in Britain authorised by Act of Parliament to carry passengers using steam haulage.〔Mitchell and Eyres, 2005 page 7〕〔Boyd 1988, page 44〕 Despite severe under-investment,〔Rolt 1965, page 50〕 the line remained open, and in 1951 it became the first railway in the world to be preserved as a heritage railway by volunteers.〔Thomas 2002, page 32〕〔Ransom 1996, page 139〕
The main terminus of the line is at (originally known as King's Station, after a local landowner), where the railway's administrative headquarters and the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum are located. Leaving this station the line passes immediately under the A493 Machynlleth to Dolgellau road and enters a long cutting that climbs towards . From Pendre, the railway climbs up to Ty Mawr bridge and on to Hendy, the first of five minor halts, which serves the adjacent farm. More local halts follow at Fach Goch, and Cynfal, the latter having a small platform.〔Potter, page 226〕 The section from Cynfal to was relaid in 1951 using rail purchased from the Corris Railway after the latter line's closure in 1948.〔Rolt 1965, page 43〕 Rhydyronen, now a request stop, was the first intermediate station built on the line, opening in 1867.〔Potter, page 227〕 Another minor halt follows at Tynllwynhen, before the passing loop and another request halt at .
Above Brynglas, the line enters woodlands west of , climbing steadily, then curves to the south east and crosses the Dolgoch gorge on the Dolgoch viaduct.〔Boyd 1965, pages 82–83〕 Dolgoch station is immediately east of the viaduct, situated on a left-hand curve at above sea level, and is the main intermediate station on the line, being popular with tourists visiting the nearby falls. The railway continues in a north easterly direction, passing Quarry Siding, where a halt and passing loop are located. The line continues its ascent towards Abergynolwyn station, situated on a ledge cut into the hillside.〔Boyd 1965, pages 83–84〕 This was the original terminus of the statutory railway, beyond which the railway continued as a mineral extension, now converted for passenger use. About three quarters of the way along the extension is the site of the Village Incline. From here the line runs into a gorge, high above the river on a narrow ledge, ending at the foot of the first incline leading to the Bryn Eglwys quarry. Nant Gwernol station, the eastern terminus of the line, was built here on the site of a set of three sidings which originally marked the end of the original line.〔Boyd 1965, pages 84–86〕
