	Barry Railway Co
		The Barry Railway company was promoted by interests in coal mining and steel in the South Wales valleys as an althernative to the existing rail service to Cardiff docks and as such, its interests were very much in transporting the commodities of its sponsors.
		The Barry company was to run steamboats only until May 1910, selling their fleet to avoid mounting debts and a shareholder's revolt against a board which remained sympathetic to the venture.
		As a railway company, parliamentary powers were required to operate steamships and the powers granted generally included provisions which limited operations to routes genuinely associated with the mother company's principal business (ie railway connections to non-accessible locations).

	Barry - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		BARRY, an urban district and seaport of Glamorganshire, Wales, on the Bristol Channel, 153 m.
		A small brook named Barri runs here into the sea, whence the place was formerly known in Welsh as Aber-Barri, but the name of both the river and the island is supposed to be derived from Baruch, a Welsh saint of the 7th century, who had a cell on the island.
		Barry owes its seaport to the determination of a number of colliery owners to secure an alternative port to Cardiff, with an independent railway to it from the coalfields.

	The Story of Barry scrapyard
		Barry had been developed as a major port for the export of coal due to the fact that Cardiff, the main port of export, could not cope with the vast quantities being shipped.
		Unfortunately, Barry suffered the 'boom and decline' ravages of the declining coal industry and the depression years of the early part of the 1900's, and its trade changed to include other imports and exports.
		During 1965, 65 locomotives arrived at the Barry scrapyard, however, in the first six-month period 28 engines were dismantled but cutting virtually ceased from the autumn onwards as the scrapmen concentrated instead on breaking up yet more freight wagons and brake vans.

	History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		During 1860, when Barry was still a village and Barry Island often referred to as a huge rabbit warren, the Romilly family purchased much of the estate; their legacy for many of us being the lovely Romilly Park, near the Cold Knap.
		However the railway was drafted as the Barry Bill, it was to run to the Barry Farm at Holton Road and the island at Friars Point.
		Barry and the surrounding area soon developed in concert with the Docks, many buildings were constructed to cater for the families of the Dock construction workers, from houses to small hospitals, soon went some way to forming a sizable town.

		The Barry Railway brought coal down from the valleys to the new docks whose trade grew from one million tons in the first year to over nine million toils by 1903.
		The railways, which had played a major part in the development of the dock, did a great deal too to make Barry Island the popular resort it is today.
		Barry had grown into an important and large town, and in 1939 it was made a borough an independence that, although changed at the major reorganisation of 1974 and 1994 is still reflected in the Town Council of today.

	Cycle Tracks using former Welsh Railways
		From Penygroes northwards the Caernarvonshire Railway had taken over and converted the Nantlle Tramroad of 3.5 ft gauge, which dated back to 1825 (There are, however, sections here and there of the Nantlle trackbed which were not actually used by the new railway).
		Currently, the former Penrhyn Railway is used as far as the A5, and then you exit onto a further stretch along the former standard-gauge line (you can see the track of the Penrhyn Railway over to the side).
		The Penrhyn railway section is very different from most other cycle tracks, it is a bit more "intimate" and "closed-in", presumably because it was a narrow-gauge railway.

	Simplon Postcards
		The recollections of those that travelled on the former Barry vessels that survived until World War II have been the stimulus to ask why it was that the White Funnel Fleet of Bristol was so challenged, at a key time of the evolution on the British paddle-steamer, by the upstart South Walian Barry Railway Company.
		The Barry Railway was very much a company created to serve a docks complex for the export of coal.
		As the Barry Docks complex had taken shape, it was a relatively straightforward matter to extend passenger railway operations from Barry across to Barry Island for leisure traffic, and then to push further through tunnel to what was to become Barry Pier station, immediately adjacent to the main entrance lock to Barry Docks.
