Originally published in 1990 and then in this enlarged form in 2003, this is a reprint of a title that has been unavailable for many years. The book commences with a gloriously, mainly empty of railways, map of Wales in 1854 "waiting to be filled in". The Mid-Wales line was from Talyllyn Junction in the north to Penpontbren Junction in the south, with a few miles run jointly with another company. The railway was born in a short period of Welsh railway mania. The ten chapters follow the usual Oakwood pattern, starting with origins and construction, ending with Nationalisation and then closure. The book is well illustrated with maps, diagrams and many photographs.
