For the current heritage railway see Llanelli and Mynydd Mawr Railway'' The Llanelly and Mynydd Mawr Railway (LMMR) was established in 1802 in Carmarthenshire, Wales, as the Carmarthenshire Tramroad by Act of Parliament. It began running trains in 1803, the initial line being a plateway of about 4 foot gauge, with motive power provided by a pair of horses. This distribution line allowed for coal extraction in the hinterland to be connected to the Sandy area and Llanelly Docks and in 1798 the Stradey Iron Works established by Alexander Raby had begun trading and later received coal, ironstone and limestone for its furnaces via the Carmarthenshire line. ==Oldest public railway claim== It is claimed that the Llanelly and Mynydd Mawr Railway is the oldest public railway in Britain.
