The Ross and Monmouth Railway (sometimes referred to as the Wye Valley Line) was a standard gauge railway of which ran between Ross-on-Wye, in Herefordshire, England and Monmouth, Monmouthshire, Wales.〔Stanley C Jenkins, ''The Ross, Monmouth and Pontypool Road Line'', revised second edition 2009, ISBN 978-0-85361-692-4〕
It was authorized in 1865 by an Act of Parliament and opened on 4 August 1873.〔B. M. Handley and R. Dingwall, ''The Wye Valley Railway and the Coleford Branch'', 1982, ISBN 0-85361-530-6〕 The station at Monmouth was situated at Mayhill on the east bank of the Wye; later, in 1874 the line was extended to a station at Monmouth Troy. The railway remained independent until 1921 when the 1921 Railways Act forced its amalgamation with the Great Western Railway.〔
