The main line of this remarkable railway ran for some 30 miles from Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff Docks, and it is the history of this route, from its TVR origins through to more recent times, that forms the main part of this volume. Also included is a chapter on the Bute East and Bute West Docks in Cardiff, together with sections on TVR railway staff, notable bridges along the line, and the variety of signal boxes that were once to be seen. While the coal mines and the smoke and grime of industry have gone, the old TVR line still carries trains to Merthyr, and the more than 250 photographs, maps and items of ephemera in this volume paint a vivid picture of the valleys' rich railway heritage.
