By this time the Tonmawr Colliery branch of the SWMR (from the site of the junction running back to Tonmawr Colliery) had closed. A short distance further on along the SWMR line a new PTR&D branch to Whitworth Colliery was made, taking over the existing private railway of the Whitworth Colliery estate as part of the scheme. 1732: 2234: 2008: 2000: 1799: 1714: 1451: 1100: 1093: 1000: 991: 875: 2270: 1982: 1483: 1264: 984: 952: 860: 852: 1929: 1651: 1597: 1590: 1389: 1381: 1257: 2142: 2015: 1992: 1936: 1740: 1724: 1706: 1665: 1538: 1475: 1168: 1016: 1008: 868: 843: 806: 799: 2306: 2299: 2277: 2263: 2241: 2227: 2196: 2187: 2111: 2101: 1974: 1958: 1922: 1845: 1806: 1644: 1583: 1411: 1397: 1314: 1176: 1068: 944: 836: 813: 792: 1458: 1467: 1418: 1191: 1114: 1107: 1085: 1023: 936: 2204: 2119: 2093: 2084: 1877: 1838: 1792: 1697: 1658: 1604: 1531: 1404: 1307: 1300: 1293: 1250: 1184: 1159: 1077: 977: 927: 920: 1967: 1870: 1831: 1785: 1690: 1286: 1524: 1444: 1243: 1236: 42:
part of the business. For some time most of the passenger train service was operated by a railmotor that was the largest ever to work in the United Kingdom. Also in 1898 the Ogmore Valleys Extension (OVE) line, a part of the PTR&D, was opened. It had been projected as a defensive measure against competitive incursion, and it led from Margam Junction towards

In fact the scheme was grossly undercapitalised and there appear in addition to have been financial irregularities; the Port Talbot Company went into receivership in 1858, which lasted until matters were regularised in 1863. 419:, controlled by the Barry Railway, proposed a westward extension from their line, through Porthcawl to join the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway. Together the two schemes would provide a new line from Swansea to London. The VoGR part would bisect Emily Talbot's lands and put the PTR&D at a disadvantage. 635:

Running powers and the working arrangements were agreed on 24 January 1908, but for financial calculation were considered to have been operative from 1 January 1907.

At facing points a locking bar was placed alongside one of the running rails; if the signalman wished to move the points, the locking bar had first to be raised. If a vehicle was passing or standing at the point, the wheel flanges prevented this process, so that the points could not be moved under a

This plan was submitted for the 1896 session of Parliament in parallel with the London and South Wales Railway scheme.

After considerable negotiation, the PTR&D agreed to build a line up Cwmavon from Tonygroes, paralleling much of the R&SBR line, but then turning north to run parallel to the South Wales Mineral Railway. At what became Blaenavon Junction the new line forked, continuing on one arm to Blaenavon

entered production, and its location alongside both the PTR&D and the Great Western Railway encouraged a symbiotic relationship. The steelworks grew in importance and size, becoming Margam Steelworks in the 1920s. The Abbey Steelworks followed in 1952, becoming the largest steelworks in Europe.

Statistics for the final full year of PT&RD independence included the capital issued at £1.69 million and income for 1921 at £121,737; the final year dividend had been 9%. There were 22 route miles of network, and 22 locomotives were absorbed into the Western Group (the new GWR). There were 738

From Pontyrhyll, the line climbed for 11 miles to Cwmcerwen Tunnel; at first undulating with typical gradients of 1 in 75 to Lletty Brongu, the line then climbed steadily at 1 in 90, 1 in 100 and 1 in 75 to the tunnel. After that it descended at 1 in 40 nearly all the way to Duffryn Junction, and

Some faults were corrected, after which they were able to take thirty loaded wagons plus van totalling about 500 tons up a 1 in 75 gradient, but this was still far short of that specified. Notwithstanding the shortfall in performance the directors resolved to keep the engines in use and to record

Several suppliers provided quotes, and the offer from the American company of Cooke Locomotive and Machine Co through their London agents was accepted on 17 May 1899, on the basis of extremely limited information. Two locomotives were to be delivered in July 1899, with an option for three or five

The long wheelbase meant that the facing point locking bars on the line had to be lengthened. It went into service in April or May 1907, and the rail motor gradually took up the majority of the passenger traffic, and by July 1907 was working the ordinary passenger trains four days per week, at a

The engines, Nos. 2492 and 2493, arrived early in 1900. With a 0-8-2T wheel arrangement they had flangeless wheels on the central two axles with only an inch clearance, likely due to difficulty in inserting the changed wheel arrangement into a standard frame design. They had a tractive effort of

From this time, two major attempts were made to achieve a negotiated working arrangement between industrial promoters and Emily Talbot. The second would have involved the formation of a Port Talbot Docks and Railway company (as opposed to the actual, later Port Talbot Railway and Docks Company).

In 1960, connections were installed between the OVE lines and the former GWR main line where they intersected at Newlands, south-east of Port Talbot, and Margam Marshalling Yard was built between there and Port Talbot itself. This became the main staging point for general freight in West Wales.

The PTR&D main line was very steeply graded, and some of the gradient was against the load. Assistant engines were always used on heavy mineral trains, and for braking purposes had to be switched from rear to front when descending. The whole process was expensive and caused delays.

The locomotive was six-coupled with 3 ft diameter wheels; it had a conventional boiler with the firebox leading, 12 by 16 inch cylinders and a boiler pressure of 170 psi and a tractive effort of 9,792 lbs. A trailing load was contemplated. It was given the number 1.

A further steep drop in mineral activity resulted in all of the remaining network except for short stubs at Port Talbot and the dock lines being closed between 1964 and 1967. The Great Western Railway had been taken into nationalised ownership at the beginning of 1948.

In 1915, the Baldwin company asked the GWR to operate workmen's trains from Margam steelworks to the Newlands and Cribbwr Fawr collieries. This was not agreed to at the time, but from 6 May 1918 such a service started operation. It was discontinued by July 1928.

From 1 June 1898, the PTR&D passenger trains started running to the disused R&SBR Aberavon station. There were four return services a day, with an additional Saturday afternoon return trip, and from 5 March 1898 a Saturday evening return trip as well.

The reduced use applied to the mineral traffic as well and the line between Lletty Brongu and Celtic Colliery was closed to revenue traffic from March 1939; traffic from Celtic Colliery was worked out via Pontyrhyll until it closed in 1942.
