Built to transport minerals from mines in the Rheidol Valley, this 2-foot-wide railway found its niche leading tourists to the Demon Bridge tourist attraction, 12 miles inland from the Cardigan coastal resort of Aberystwyth. It became the last steam railway operated by British Rail and in 1989 in the first part of the network to be privatized. Now, under a charitable trust, he's experiencing a renaissance that will make him one of Mid-Wales' top tourist attractions.

A great book about a small railway with a lot of history that has managed to adapt to the new times and become a tourist attraction without losing its charm. A history similar to the one we have in Spain with the Steam Train of the Basque Railway Museum or the Utrillas Mining Train. The most noteworthy thing, as in many books of this publishing house, is the large number of good photographs it contains and how complete its information is.

Unos Cuantos Trenes

It is a complete story of the line to date, an enjoyable read and a good pictorial record of this attractive railway. So a good way to spend some time in lock-down!
