HistoryThe Carmarthenshire Railway or Tramroad was authorised under an Act of Parliament of 3 June 1802 – the first granted for a public railway in Wales – to acquire the existing Carmarthenshire Dock at Llanelly and its feeder tramroad built by Alexander Raby by 1799,[1] thus incidentally becoming the world’s first dock-owning public railway company.[2] The first {{convert|1.5|mi|km|abbr=on}} from Cwmddyche ironworks down to the sea was open in May 1803 – the first stretch of public railway in use in Britain[1] – and construction ceased in 1805 when the line had reached Gorslas. The engineer was named James Barnes and the gauge was approximately {{RailGauge|4ft}}.[1] The line ceased to operate in or before 1844 and portions of its course were utilised by the Llanelly and Mynydd Mawr Railway, opened in 1881.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|first=M.R.C.|last=Price|title=The Llanelly & Mynydd Mawr Railway|location=Oxford|publisher=Oakwood Press|year=1992|isbn=0-85361-423-7}} {{Historical Welsh railway companies}}{{Use dmy dates|date=May 2011}}{{UK-rail-transport-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|first=Richard|last=Balkwill|author2=Marshall, John |authorlink2=John Marshall (railway historian) |title=The Guinness Book of Railway Facts and Feats|edition=6th|location=Enfield|publisher=Guinness Publishing|year=1993|isbn=0-85112-707-X}} 7 : 4 ft gauge railways in Wales|Early Welsh railway companies|Transport in Carmarthenshire|Rail transport in Carmarthenshire|Railway lines opened in 1803|Horse-drawn railways|Railway lines closed in 1844 |
