A replica of a "Little Eaton Tramway" wagon. Track has an 'L' cross-section and the wheels are unflanged. A plateway is an early kind of railway or tramway or wagonway, with a cast-iron rail. They were mainly used for about 50 years up to 1830, though some continued later. Plateways consisted of "L" shaped rails where a flange on the rail guided the wheels in contrast to edgeways, where flanges on the wheels guide it along the track. Plateways were originally horsedrawn, but cable haulage and locomotives were sometimes used later on. The plates of the plateway were made of cast iron, often cast by the ironworks that were their users. [1] On most lines this system was replaced by rolled wrought iron (and later steel) "edge rails", which along with realignment to increase the radius of curves converted them to modern railways better suited to locomotive operation. Plateways were particularly favoured in South Wales and the Forest of
