Take a nostalgic steam-powered journey back in time on the long closed line between Brecon and Newport. Few Welsh lines offered greater scenic contrasts in the space of a few miles. Starting off in what later became the Brecon Beacons National Park, cross the picturesque River Usk, pass through the industrial heartland of the south Wales valleys before finally reaching the south Wales coast at Newport. Includes an essay on the history of the line and photographs of its locomotives, trains and stations.
