Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway, Wales, United Kingdom, April 2015.

The Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway (in Welsh language: Rheilfordd Pont-y-pwl a Blaenafon) is a 3.5 mile heritage railway, built in South Wales, during the 1860s to transport coal to the Midlands in England. It was closed in the 1940s, and taken over by a preservation society in the 1980s, to run as a heritage railway, as a tourist/visitor attraction.

Another tourist/visitor attraction, Big Pit National Coal Museum, an industrial heritage museum in Blaenavon, is only a short walk to the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway line.

I was there mainly at the Big Pit coal mine, to take photos as part of a graphic design project (seen much earlier in my Photostream), and decided to do an extra photo-shoot of the railway line as they would also be useful stock photographs for any future graphic design projects.
