Car Gwyllt

Adding this here for future reference, the Car_gwyllt was invented by the Welsh in 1870, which used by quarrymen to go down the mountain for either ease or fun, worth adding this to the article as it is closely related to rollercoasters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hogyncymru (talk • contribs) 00:01, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the Scenic railways section, change "a 8.7-mile" to "an 8.7-mile" in order to use the proper English article preceding a word beginning in a vowel. Z3a1 (talk) 19:54, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done: I actually removed the length altogether, since it wasn't cited with a source here or in the Mauch Chunk Switchback Railway article. --GoneIn60 (talk) 22:53, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
