Heading up the valley , the vale of Neath , a train of empty coal hoppers for the loading site at Cwmgwrach is pictured. The train is passing the former Resolven station site opened in 1851 and shut to passengers way back on the 21 March 1964. The line survived to move coal , however the trains are few and far between these days and it can be a very long wait to photograph movements on the line. Gritstone has also been moved in trains From Cwmgwrach on occasions.
