Next year will be an important milestone for the Gwili Steam Railway near Carmarthen. After a 15-year project, a new 1.75 mile (2.8km) extension to the line will be opened, doubling the current length of track. Some of the views seen along the length of the line have not been seen by the travelling public for almost 50 years. Guests were given a preview recently, travelling in steam train carriages to a new station at Abergwili.
