Standing at Caedu Box
Image: © Martin Addison Taken: 28 Sep 1985
Class 33, 33019 stands on the outskirts of Ogmore Vale with the Welsh Washery Wanderer railtour in September 1985. By this time Wyndham Colliery at the head of the valley had closed and Ogmore Vale Washery was awaiting its turn to be axed. By 1987 the crossing barriers here had been removed and the signal box was disused - it would subsequently be preserved on the Gwili Railway. Between the locomotive and the signal box, the service station and houses on Cemetery Road can be seen. From Google maps street view it looks like the service station is currently closed (2014).
