  • The Snowdon Mountain Railway (SMR) is a narrow gauge rack and pinion mountain railway in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. It is a tourist railway that travels for 4.7 miles (7.6 km) from Llanberis to the summit of Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales. The SMR is the only public rack and pinion railway in the United Kingdom, and after more than 100 years of operation it remains a popular tourist attraction. The line is owned and operated by Heritage Great Britain plc, operators of several other tourist attractions in the United Kingdom. The railway is operated in some of the harshest weather conditions in Britain, with services curtailed from reaching the summit in bad weather. Single carriage trains are pushed up the mountain by either steam locomotives or diesel locomotives. It has also previously used diesel railcars as multiple units. The SMR was the inspiration for the fictional Culdee Fell Railway, appearing in the story book "Mountain Engines", part of the "The Railway Series" written by the late Reverend W. Awdry. The Railway Series books were the basis for the popular Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends children's television series; as yet however the Culdee Fell Railway has not been included in the televised episodes.

  • スノードン登山鉄道（英語: The Snowdon Mountain Railway、略:SMR、ウェールズ語: Rheilffordd yr Wyddfa）は、北西ウェールズのグウィネズにある狭軌のラック式鉄道である。スランベリスから、ウェールズ最高峰であるスノードン山の頂上までの4.7マイル（7.5km）を結ぶ観光鉄道である。 スノードン登山鉄道は、イギリスで唯一の一般に乗車できるラック式鉄道であり、開業から100年以上も人気の観光地であり続けている。路線はイギリスのいくつかの観光地を経営するHeritage Great Britain PLCにより運営される。 スノードン登山鉄道はイギリスでもっとも厳しい気象状況の中で運行されることから、悪天候の中では登頂のサービスが省略される。1両の客車が蒸気機関車またはディーゼル機関車により推進される。以前は動力分散方式の気動車が使用されたこともあった。 スノードン登山鉄道はウィルバート・オードリーによる汽車のえほんシリーズの中の山にのぼる機関車のカルディー・フェル登山鉄道のモデルとなっている。この絵本は、テレビ番組きかんしゃトーマスの原作であるが、カルディー・フェル登山鉄道はテレビシリーズには登場していない。
