Swansea-Mumbles Railway Was 'Remarkable'

The 200-year anniversary of what is believed to have been the world's first passenger railway is being celebrated (link below.)

The Swansea and Mumbles Railway began life as a horse-drawn carriage which ran along a line built to transport limestone from Mumbles to Swansea.

Over the years it saw the introduction of steam and later electric-powered trains until its final journey in 1960.
