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.

Pont Tan-y-Bwlch yn dwyn y geiriau "BOSTON LODGE FOUNDRY 1854", a Blanche, o reilffordd chwarel y Penrhyn, adeiladwyd yn 1893 ac a ddaeth yma yn 1963.

A vignette of past Welsh industry: Tan-y-Bwlch bridge, bearing the legend BOSTON LODGE FOUNDRY 1854, and Penrhyn Quarry Railway locomotive Blanche, built in 1893 and transferred to the Festiniog in 1963 after closure of the P.Q.R.
