Opened in 1840 as Cross Inn by the "Llanelly Railway" on the line from Pantyffynnon to Brynamman, this station closed in 1958. The station name had changed to Ammanford in 1883. View NE towards the former Ammanford Colliery Halt and Brynamman from a public crossing. The line was only used by freight trains when this image was taken. The current Ammanford station is a short distance away on the Central Wales Line.
