In 1860 Savin formed a company with David Davies to build railways in Wales. This company was the principle contractor for many of the lines that became the Cambrian Railways[1]. He also had an interest in or worked on a number of minor railways, including the Corris Railway, the The Kington & Eardisley Railway[2] and the Bishop's Castle Railway[3]
