Bute Docks Railway

The Bute Docks Railway was a railway line in Cardiff, Wales, primarily serving the Bute Docks area, which was developed for shipping and trade in the 19th century. It connected the docks to the broader railway network, facilitating the transport of goods, particularly coal, oil, and iron. Established in the 1880s, the railway played a crucial role in the economic growth of Cardiff, making it one of the busiest ports in the UK. While the line is no longer in operation, its legacy remains tied to the historical development of industrial transport in the region.
