Penrhyn station on the Ffestiniog Railway is located on a restricted site at Pen-y-Bwlch above the town of Penrhyndeudraeth (Penrhyndeudraeth means ''Headland between two beaches''). Beyond Penrhyn station, the railway crosses the A4085 Penrhyndeudraeth to Llanfrothen road on the line's only remaining gated and manned level crossing. Because of the layout of the crossing, three privately owned terraced houses are between the two crossing gates, a feature believed unique in the UK. ==History== The station opened on 6 January 1865 at the commencement of passenger services, and was rebuilt in 1879 using components from the original Porthmadog Harbour Station—externally it has changed little since. Originally called Penrhyndeudraeth, during the 1870s the name of was shortened to Penrhyn, in order to avoid confusion with the station on the Cambrian Railways coast line at the lower end of the town. The station is at a height of 160 ft (50 m) and a distance of 3 miles 8 chains (5.0 km) from Porthmadog. Penrhyn station closed to passenger traffic on 15 September 1939 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Penrhyn railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
