NEWPORT, ABERGAVENY, AND HEREFORD RAILWAY, a railway in the counties of Monmouth and Hereford; from a junction with the Monmouthshire railway in the neighbourhood of Pontypool, 33 miles north-north-eastward, past Abergavenny, to a junction with the Shrewsbury and Hereford line at Hereford. It was authorised in 1846; was connected, by branch lines, authorised in 1847, in 1853, and in 1857, with the Taff Vale, the Taff Vale Extension, and the Aberdare and Barford Valley; was amalgamated with two other systems in 1860, to form the West Midland; and, as part of the West Midland, became embodied, in 1863, with the Great Western.
