Lime Kiln level crossing cuts through the middle of a hairpin bend in Darran Road's descent towards the B4591 (the western end of St Mary Street and the eastern end of Cromwell Road). The railway lines are between Risca & Pontymister station and Crosskeys station on the Cardiff Central to Ebbw Vale Parkway route. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1759000 to the northern half of the hairpin bend. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1759121 to the view from the southern approach. Formerly, there was a signal box next to the level crossing to control the points at the location nearby where two tracks merged into one.
