- Synopsis:
Telling the story of two railway companies in this documentary from 2005: first, the Brecon Mountain Railway, a heritage track opened in 1980, its narrow-gauge track having been laid over the original track bed of the second, the Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway Company. The BMR line runs from Pant Station to just short of the Summit or Torpantau Tunnel, at 1313 feet, the highest ever built in the UK. Once renowned as the most spectacular in the land, the Brecon and Merthyr northern section delighted passengers with magnificent views of old locomotives struggling at the head of their charges as they attempted to pull them over gradients of up to 1:38, over the mountains and through the valleys, past the reservoirs between Brecon and Merthyr. - Studio:
