Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Embankment of dismantled railway The line of trees on the left mark the embankment of a section of the former Hereford, Ross & Gloucester Railway, east of Carey. At the end of the line you can just make out the piers of Ballingham Bridge which once carried the line over the River Wye at this point. The line then entered a tunnel emerging at Fawley Station, (one of four tunnels along the line.) In 1862 the line was amalgamated with the Great Western Railway and was later used as a guinea pig for its programme of gauge conversion, being one of the first to adopt a gauge conversion from broad to standard gauge. The line closed in 1964. |
