Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Burry Port & Gwendraeth Valley Railway The Burry Port & Gwendraeth Valley railway was built in the late 19th century primarily to carry coal from collieries in the Gwendraeth Valley. In 1909 it was officially converted to carry passengers (though it had done so illegally for a number of years previously). Passenger services eventually ended in 1953 but the line remained open to serve collieries until 1996 when it was closed. Tracks are still in place for most of its length from where it branches from the West Wales line to Cwm Mawr, though in many places the tracks are now completely covered with shrubs and weeds. This picture s taken off the A484 Kidwelly bypass. |
