A focused work of British railway history, The Rhymney Railway chronicles the rise and operation of one of South Wales' most significant coal-carrying lines, tracing its development from its mid-nineteenth-century origins through to its absorption into the Great Western Railway at the 1923 Grouping. R.W. Kidner presents a detailed account of the locomotives, rolling stock, and infrastructure that defined this vital artery of the Welsh valleys, drawing on historical records to paint a precise and authoritative picture of the line's working life. Written in the measured, factual tone characteristic of Kidner's railway histories, the text instructs enthusiasts and historians alike on the operational and engineering particulars that set the Rhymney Railway apart from its neighbours. Rich with technical detail and historical context, it stands as an essential reference for anyone with a serious interest in Welsh industrial railways and the communities they served.
