The author, who has been closely associated with the preserved Llangollen Railway for many years, has produced a detailed account of the Ruabon to Barmouth line’s history, looking at all aspects of its traffic and operation form the earliest days right up to closure. The stories of the preserved Llangollen Railway and Bala Lake Railway have been well documented, so no attempt has been made to take this story on beyond track lifting in 1969. The book is illustrated with a wealth of photographs, many of which have not previously been published, as well as many items of paperwork from his own archives.
