Until the closure of the quarries in 1946, the line east from Abergynolwyn was worked as a mineral tramway – only slate and goods trains serving Bryn Eglwys ran on this section. The quarry lay about {{convert|1|mile|km|spell=in}} south-east of Nant Gwernol station and {{convert|300|ft|m|abbr=on}} above it, with a further mineral tramway connecting the quarry with the railway.<ref name=Boyd88165/> What is now Nant Gwernol station was the terminus of the Talyllyn Railway proper. Here the line fanned out into a set of sidings where inbound trains were left and outbound slate trains assembled. The sidings were located on a narrow ledge in the side of the Nant Gwernol gorge.<ref name=Boyd159/>

Rising south-east from the end of the sidings was the {{convert|633|ft|m|abbr=on}} long, double track gravity operated, '''Alltwyllt incline''',<ref>Boyd 1988, page 162</ref> from the top of which the Galltymoelfre Tramway ran south-east towards the quarry for about {{convert|0.5|mi|m}}. The tramway was laid in light [[Rail profile#History|bridge rail]] and worked for its entire existence using horses. The tramway ended at the foot of the '''Cantrybedd incline''', a {{convert|440|ft|m|abbr=on}} long double track, gravity operated incline. This final incline rose to the north edge of Bryn Eglwys quarry, reaching a height of {{convert|612|ft|m|abbr=on}} above sea level.<ref name=Boyd88165>Boyd 1988, page 165</ref>
