Morfa Mawddach Station
View southward, towards Dolgellau and Ruabon (left), Dovey Junction and Machynlleth (right); ex-Cambrian, Machynlleth - Pwllheli line, junction of line to Dolgellau, thence ex-Great Western to Ruabon; there was also a line connecting that from Machynlleth directly to the Dolgellau line which made a triangle. (I took the photograph from a northbound train about to cross the Mawddach Viaduct to Barmouth). The station was called 'Barmouth Junction' - and Dolgellau was 'Dolgelley' until 13/6/60; the lines to Dolgellau and Ruabon were closed on 18/1/65.
