Neath and Brecon Railway

The Neath and Brecon Railway was a historical railway line in South Wales, connecting Neath and Brecon. Built primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it aimed to facilitate transporting minerals, particularly coal, and goods across the region. The railway featured a network of standard and narrow-gauge tracks that navigated hilly terrain, serving both industrial and passenger needs. Over time, decline in coal industry and road competition led to reduced use, and sections of the railway have since been closed or repurposed. Today, it remains a notable part of Wales's industrial heritage.
