Whitland and Cardigan Railway
text:
The Whitland and Cardigan Railway was a 27.5 miles (44.3 km) long branch line in West Wales. It was built in two stages, at first as the Whitland and Taf Vale Railway from the South Wales Main Line at Whitland to the quarries at Glogue. It opened in 1873, at first only for goods and minerals and later for passengers. The line to Cardigan opened in 1886; reflected in the company name change. Although a dividend was paid, the company was always short of cash. Huge borrowings made it unable to pay
