Beskrivelse
The Last Years of Steam around Central Wales is a pictorial record of an area rich in railway history. The northern border of this region is broadly the railway from Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury, the eastern border is the line from Shrewsbury to Abergavenny, while the southern border follows the route of the A40 from Abergavenny to Carmarthen. Routes covered include Brecon to Talyllyn Junction, Three Cocks Junction, Hay-on-Wye, and Hereford; the Golden Valley Railway; Leominster to Titley Junction, Presteign, Kington, and Dolyhir; the Central Wales line from Craven Arms to Llandilo via Knighton, Llandrindod Wells, and Builth Road; the route of the 'Cambrian Coast Express' from Shrewsbury to Welshpool, Montgomery, Newtown, Carno, Talerddig, Cemmes Road, Machynlleth to Borth, and Aberystwyth; the mid-Wales route south from Moat Lane Junction via Llanidloes, Rhayader, Newbridge-on-Wye, and Builth Road; Aberystwyth to Tregaron, Lampeter, Pencader, and Carmarthen; and the Aberayron and Newcastle Emlyn branches.
