At 38 members it sits under this atlas's oversized-group threshold and needs no further split at this time.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonUN M49 RegionWell-attestedNorthern Europe 1GICS SectorWell-attestedIndustrials 2Browse ByAll Welsh RailroadsWelsh Railroads38 entriesWelsh RailroadsFilter Results38 entriesIndustryAllRailroad Industry (37)Company TypeAllELR railway line section (1)Heritage railway (1)Narrow-gauge railway (2)Railway company (18)Railway line (2)Transport company (1)Wagonway (1)FoundedAll1802 (1)1812 (1)1824 (1)1846 (2)1851 (2)1853 (1)1854 (2)1857 (2)1858 (2)1860 (1)1862 (3)1864 (3)1866 (3)1873 (1)1878 (1)1882 (1)1884 (2)1889 (1)1894 (1)1897 (2)1901 (1)1997 (1)Sector (GICS)AllRailroads (38)Railroads of the United Kingdom and Ireland (38)Welsh Railroads (38)DissolvedAll1844 (1)1846 (1)1860 (1)1862 (1)1864 (1)1865 (2)1872 (1)1873 (1)1876 (1)1881 (1)1883 (2)1894 (1)1895 (1)1897 (1)1899 (1)1905 (1)1911 (1)1922 (1)1923 (5)1930 (1)1931 (1)1960 (1)1961 (1)Headquartered InAllUnited Kingdom (35)Wales (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 38Aberystwith and Welsh Coast RailwayIndustrials1 linkAnglesey Central RailwayIndustrials1 linkBala and Festiniog RailwayIndustrials1 linkBarry Railway CompanyIndustrials1 linkBrecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction RailwayIndustrials1 linkBriton Ferry Floating Dock and Railway CompanyIndustrialsBurry Port and Gwendraeth Valley RailwayIndustrials1 linkCambrian RailwaysIndustrials1 linkCardiff RailwayIndustrials1 linkCarmarthen and Cardigan RailwayIndustrials1 linkCarmarthenshire Railway or TramroadIndustrials1 linkColeford, Monmouth, Usk and Pontypool RailwayIndustrials1 linkCorris RailwayIndustrials1 linkCowbridge and Aberthaw RailwayIndustrials1 linkCowlyd TramwayIndustrials1 linkCroesor TramwayIndustrials1 linkFestiniog and Blaenau RailwayIndustrials1 linkGorseddau TramwayIndustrials1 linkGrosmont RailwayIndustrials1 linkLlynvi and Ogmore RailwayIndustrials1 linkManchester and Milford RailwayIndustrials1 linkNarberth Road and Maenclochog RailwayIndustrials1 linkNeath and Brecon RailwayIndustrials1 linkNewport, Abergavenny and Hereford RailwayIndustrials1 linkNewtown and Machynlleth RailwayIndustrials1 linkNorth Pembrokeshire and Fishguard RailwayIndustrials1 linkPadarn RailwayIndustrials1 linkPlynlimon and Hafan TramwayIndustrials1 linkPontypridd, Caerphilly and Newport RailwayIndustrials1 linkPort Talbot Railway and Docks CompanyIndustrials1 linkPorthgain RailwayIndustrials1 linkPortmadoc, Beddgelert and South Snowdon RailwayIndustrials1 linkRhondda and Swansea Bay RailwayIndustrials1 linkRhymney RailwayIndustrials1 linkSouth Wales RailwayIndustrials1 linkVale of Neath RailwayIndustrials1 linkWelsh Highland RailwayIndustrials1 linkWrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay RailwayIndustrials1 linkSources1.
