Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway

The Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway was a 19th-century railway in South Wales that connected the towns of Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil. It was built to facilitate the transportation of coal, iron, and other goods during the industrial revolution. The railway improved regional connectivity, supported local industry, and provided passenger services. Over time, its importance declined due to the rise of road transport and changing industry patterns. Today, remnants of the railway exist, reflecting its role in the area's industrial heritage and transport development.
