Oswestry and Newtown Railway

The Oswestry and Newtown Railway was a railway line that ran from Mid Wales to the Shropsire border town of Oswestry, later a constituent part of the Cambrian Railways.

Authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1855, delays in securing land, shortage of money and contractors going bankrupt delayed construction. It agreed to a joint station with the Newtown and Machynlleth Railway in Newtown, but decided to build a grand headquarters station at .
Despite running along relatively flat land for the region, the O&NR faced crossing two major rivers. The first was the River Severn, which meandered its southern section south of . The second was the River Vyrnwy, encountered once immediately to the south of Llanymynech. This section and onwards south to hence became single track with passing loops within the stations to reduce costs, with the major traffic predicted to be north from the lime stone quarries and Hoffman kilns accessed from .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Llanymynech sgnal box )
However, the directors underestimated the construction difficulties or resultant costs, and tighter and tighter contracts simply resulted in a number of contractors going bankrupt.

In July 1864 on completion of the LNWR sponsored Oswestry, Ellesmere and Whitchurch Railway, to join with its neighbours (Newtown & Machynlleth, Llanidloes & Newtown) to form Cambrian Railways. A year later the coast lines joined too. On grouping in 1923, Cambrian Railways became part of the Great Western Railway.
