Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway
The Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway was a broad gauge railway from Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire, to Newcastle Emlyn, Wales. Part of the route is now used by the Teifi Valley Railway and the Gwili Railway.
Despite the name, the line never reached Cardigan. Instead, that was achieved by the Whitland & Cardigan Railway which took a more westerly route and became a branch of the Great Western Railway,
==Line History==
The line was authorised in 1854 as the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway's abortive attempt to create a rail link from Carmarthen to Cardigan. By 1860 the Company manage to construct the line as far as Conwil before having to cease further works until it could raise enough capital to build the line to Pencader in 1864. The line was extended to Llandysul railway station a few months later but by that time the Company was in severe financial difficulties and went into receivership. In 1867 attempts to run the line were made with horse-drawn buses covering the uncompleted sections but in 1881 the Company was wound up. The line was then bought by the Great Western Railway (GWR) who completed the line up to Newcastle Emlyn in 1895. A quiet line that primarily served the local market and tourism, it was transferred to British Rail at nationalisation〔Atterbury, P (2006) Branch Line Britain: A Nostalgic Journey Celebrating a Golden Age, David & Charles, Newton Abbot P164〕 The line closed to passengers in 1952〔(Disused Stations: Newcastle Emlyn Station )〕 and completely in 1973.〔http://www.teifivalleyrailway.com/4.html〕
