Rhymney Railway

The Rhymney Railway was a Welsh railway built in the 19th century to transport coal from the Rhymney Valley to ports for export. It played a key role in industrial development by connecting coalfields to regional and international markets. The railway expanded over time, linking various valleys and industries. In the 20th century, it became part of larger railway companies, eventually integrating into the national rail network of Britain. Today, its legacy includes some preserved lines and infrastructure that reflect its importance in Welsh industrial history.
