Sub-titled: Including the Ebbw Vale Branch
This album is a picture history of the Heads of the Valleys railways. Remembered fondly by many, it details the severe gradients and unique locomotives that worked the lines.
An outpost of the London & North Western Railway (L&NWR), deep in Great Western Railway (GWR) territory, this was an important and heavily trafficked line.
The remarkable feats of Victorian engineering, built with a pick and shovel and little else, adorn many pages.
