About this programme

4/4. Part two of two. Archive footage and first-hand testimonies relive the heyday of steam railways in Wales, an era that seemed doomed to end following the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, and is only now experiencing a revival due to the work of keen enthusiasts. The last generation of Welsh steam railwaymen reminisce about their work, and the documentary pays a visit to a heritage centre that has been charged with keeping their past alive. Last in the series.
