History
The original Welsh Highland Railway was formed in 1922 from the merger of two companies – the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways (NWNGR) and the Portmadoc, Beddgelert and South Snowdon Railway (PBSSR), successor to the Portmadoc, Croesor and Beddgelert Tram Railway. Unfortunately, it was never a commercial success.

—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
