Just when did the last train run through Minera? 1974 has been one date put forward from someone who used to live along the line. If anyone can reply to this thread with any information on the Minera Railway branch from Brymbo it would be much appreciated.

I am aware that Wikipedia(the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit) has an article on the Wrexham and Minera Branch, here, but it doesn't contain information on the last train.

We have an interesting picture on the Minera section of the site showing a 'special excursion' train at Minera Limeworks station in 1959, with passengers shown disembarking.
The passenger service as far as Berwig Station had ceased a long time prior to this date, so im assuming this event would have been a rarity. Has anyone any info to add?

I do have a book entitled "Wrexham Railways", which has a similar photo of what i think is that same train, but leaving the area.

Where'd that picture of Coedpoeth station come from? Is it possible to obtain a high resolution image from somewhere?
