	Corris Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The railway opened as the horse-worked Corris, Machynlleth and River Dovey Tramroad in 1859, connecting the slate quarries in the district around Corris,Corris Uchaf and Aberllefenni with wharves on the estuary of the Afon Dyfi at Derwenlas and Morben, south-west of Machynlleth.
		The principal reason for the existence of the Corris Railway was to serve the slate quarries of this district.
		The society is also actively pursuing a southwards extension towards Machynlleth, with the initial aim of extending the line to Tan-y-Coed, midway between Esgairgeiliog and Llwyngwern and some two and a half miles south of Corris.
