Port Talbot Railway and Docks Company
The Port Talbot Railway and Docks Company (PTR) operated the Port Talbot Railway and the docks at Port Talbot, South Wales.
==Background==
Inheriting his Aberavon and Margam estates from his father, Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot enjoyed the cash flow from the region's industrialisation, including copper smelted at nearby Neath since 1584, and tin and ironworks at Pontardawe.
Talbot recognised that improved transportation could stimulate industrial growth. As a Member of Parliament he introduced a Bill in 1834 to improve the old harbour at Aberavon. Two years later, a further Bill provided for the harbour's expansion and a change of name to Port Talbot in his honour. These combined port assets were owned by the newly formed Port Talbot Company Limited (PTC). Through the PTC, Talbot encouraged the development of Swansea docks.〔
Talbot's interests then developed into railways. He became a shareholder and subsequently chairman in the South Wales Railway Company, which was acquired by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1863, with Talbot consequently joining the board of the GWR.〔
