In 1877, the line's initial temporary terminus site (goods only) was at Quellyn, immediately east of and adjacent to Castell Cidwm (OB71 or OB 34.57). It should not be confused with Quellyn Lake, a name used from 1893 for what was originally and is now referred to as Snowdon Ranger.

The last traces of the slate loading dock mentioned by Boyd (based on 1940s observation) were removed when the cutting was widened and deepened during reconstruction in association with the underpinning of OB 34.57. However, it is still possible to discern from aerial photos, that something existed here before, by the length of the cutting.

There is sometimes confusion over the names of locations in the area. Please see this comment about name changes.
