Y Cambrian, Y Rhymni, Y Taff, Y Barri—atgofion pell a dogfennau llychlyd yw'r cwmniau rheilffyrdd Cymreig hyn yn awr. Ond mae'r hynaf ohonynt i gyd gyda ni o hyd—Lein Fach Ffestiniog, mam holl reilffyrdd culion y byd. Wedi blynyddoedd lawer o ddirywiad a chyfnod byr o segurdod llwyr, daeth gwaredigaeth yn 1954, a byth er hynny mae pethau'n gwella'n gyson.

The Cambrian, the Rhymney, the Taff Vale, the Barry . . . the Welsh railway companies are now nearly all distant memories and dusty files. But the oldest of them all is still with us—the Festiniog Railway, mother of the world's narrow-gauge lines. After many years of decline and a short period of closure, it was rescued in 1954 and has been on the mend ever since.

Gwelir larll Meirionnydd ar Dro Carreg Filltir yn ymyl Plâs Tan-y-Bwlch, a fu unwaith yn gartref i W. G. Oakeley, perchennog rhai o chwarell llechi'r ardal, ond yn awr yn Ganolfan Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri. Sylwer ar y coed derw hardd a'u gwreiddiau yn holltau'r graig, a'r rhododendron o'r Himalaya a blannwyd gan y teulu Oakeley; planhigion dieithr oeddynt bryd hynny ond erbyn hyn maent yn tyfu'n wyllt.

Hard by Plas Tan-y-Bwlch, once the home of slate lord W. G. Oakeley and now the Snowdonia National Park Centre, Earl of Merioneth forges round Milestone Curve. The trees are self-seeded sessile oaks (i.e. with roots embedded in rock) and the shrubs are Himalayan rhododendrons, introduced as exotics by the Oakeley family and now a weed.
