Description
The enthusiasm for railways grew with the development of steam power at a time when horse drawn wagons were no longer sufficient to meet the transportation demands of industry. In Wales, rich deposits of ore, coal, stone and slate needed to find their way out of the rugged hills to the rapidly expanding ports and (from there) the rest of the world. Many of these distinct, individual Welsh industrial railways still operate today, but people, rather than minerals, are their cargo.
