The Severn and Wye Railway was a small rail and canal network in west Gloucestershire initially constructed to allow exploitation of the mineral resources of the Forest of Dean. In 1810 The Severn and Wye Railway and Canal Company began construction of a tramway and the Lydney Canal. In 1868 a 7 ft 1⁄4 in (2140 mm) broad gauge railway was added to run alongside the existing tramway but work began to replace both with standard gauge tracks in 1872.
