Brief Description:

The Corris Railway is a narrow gauge (2-foot 3-inch) railway whose origins date back to the 1850's. It was originally built as a horse-and-gravity worked tramroad to carry slate from the quarries of Corris Uchaf and Aberllefenni to load onto ships at the nearest navigable point on the Afon Dyfi (River Dovey).

Now, Corris Railway is a tourist railway and runs scheduled passenger services on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. The Museum opened in 1970 and passenger services recommenced in 2002, with regular steam-hauled services returning in 2005, operated by volunteer members of the Corris Railway Society.
