The Bullo Pill Railway was an early British railway company, completed in 1810 to carry coal mined in the Forest of Dean coalfield to a port on the River Severn near Newnham, Gloucestershire. It was later converted to a broad gauge steam line by the Great Western Railway and remained in use until it closed in the 1960s.
