Engines and rolling stock of the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway

The Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway, a volunteer-run preserved railway, was first formed in the 1980s, running trains between a platform in a former colliery furnace site, up a steep but short section of railway line to a halt platform opposite the Whistle Stop public house (famed for it's collection of miner's lamps).

It has not increased in track size since opening, but it has increased as a going concern, with a larger number of volunteers, a larger amount of operationl rolling stock, and more definite plans for the railway's future. It is planned to first extend the railway towards the town of Blaenavon, the nearest town to the railway's headquarters by roughly a mile, to the site of the former Blaenavon High Level station (once the London & North Western Railway's station in the town). After this is hopefully achieved, the railway will turn towards extending the line northwards, under a small road bridge and along the still intact track bed.

The railway runs every weekend between spring and September. There are also a selection of special weekends through the spring and summer, as well as Santa Specials nearing Christmas.
