Castle Pill Railway: A Glimpse into the Victorian Past of Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, South Wales This evocative photograph captures the Castle Pill Railway in South Wales, a fascinating relic of the Victorian era that once connected Milford Haven with the surrounding countryside. The image, taken in the late 1800s, showcases the Great Western Railway (GWR) at Castle Pill, a tidal inlet near Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire. The name 'pill' is a local term for a tidal inlet. The broad gauge tracks, an engineering innovation of the time, dominate the foreground of the image. These tracks, with their distinctive width of 7 ft 0 in (2,134 mm), were a significant departure from the standard gauge tracks that were becoming the norm in the UK. The broad gauge system was pioneered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and offered smoother rides and greater load-carrying capacity. The photograph also highlights Brunel's disc and crossbar signalling system, which was a crucial part of the railway's safety infrastructure. The disc signals, with their distinctive red and green discs, replaced the semaphore signals that were commonly used at the time. The crossbar signals, positioned above the disc signals, were used to indicate the approach of a train. The coastal setting of the Castle Pill Railway adds to its charm, with the rugged Welsh coastline forming a picturesque backdrop. The B road, which runs parallel to the railway, is a reminder of the area's rich history and the role the railway played in connecting communities and facilitating trade. This photograph, with its intriguing blend of history, engineering, and coastal beauty, transports us back to the 1860s, offering a captivating glimpse into the past of Milford Haven and Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
