This book on the Brecon & Merthyr, deals with the section from
Bargoed to Pontsticill Junction, covering the line built by the
B&M to join onto the section running north from Bargoed built
by the Rhymney Railway, much dominated at the time by nearby
Dowlais Ironworks. Included is the short section from Pant to
Dowlais Central. It contains photographs of every location along
the line, including many that have not before been published. The
volume includes a fascinating account of the Pantywaun Marshalling
Yard, operative until Dowlais Ironworks ceased production, when the
B&M ran freight services to and from Pantywaun, before the many
collieries and levels in the area were closed almost overnight and
the location finally obliterated under the development of
Cwmbargoed Opencast.
