The end of the line
Image: © Hywel Williams Taken: 28 Apr 2009
A locomotive stops at the end of the Amman Valley mineral railway - it's a short stop however as it's about to travel along a loop to allow it to be positioned at the other end of a train of coal wagons currently being loaded by diggers. There is evidence on a nearby road that this railway used to continue further along. This is remembered by locals as a line to serve nearby mines and one historic Ordnance Survey map seems to suggest a through connection to Cwmllynfell - however there's no argument that it stops here now!
