This is where the South Wales main railway crosses over Coedcae Lane (or vice versa). A train is imminent. The sirens are sounding and red lights are flashing to give any vehicle or person on the crossing time to get clear before the barriers descend. This a busy railway route, used by passenger trains and freight trains. It is not unusual for the barriers to remain down after a train has passed by, because another train is approaching the crossing.
