This box, seen from a southbound special train, controlled the south end of Maesteg Castle Street Goods Yard and a series of wagon storage sidings. Immediately beyond the box the line crosses Bridgend Road. Passenger train services, which ran between Bridgend and Blaengwynfi, were withdrawn from Maesteg in 1970 but a new terminus station with services from Cardiff and Bridgend was opened in 1992. Only a single line now exists at this point.
