Bryn Oer Tramway : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bryn Oer Tramway
The Bryn Oer Tramway (also known as the Brinore Tramroad) was a horse-worked narrow gauge railway built in South Wales in 1814. == History ==
The Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal was built under an Act of Parliament of 1793. The Act allowed the canal company to build feeder railways up to in length to transport freight to the canal for transshipment. The Bryn Oer Tramway was built under this act in 1814, opening in 1815. It was a horse-worked plateway that served the Bryn Oer collieries and the limestone quarries at Trefil, dropping along its route to the canal at Talybont-on-Usk. An extension was built to serve the Rhymney ironworks in the Rhymney Valley. By the 1830s the growth of local railways had begun to complete with the tramway, especially with the introduction of steam locomotives that were too heavy to work on the fragile plateway. By 1860 most of the tramway's traffic was being sent by railways and it closed in 1865.〔http://brinore-tramroad.powys.org.uk/〕
