The last train on the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway ran in 1996 when the last coal mine that it served ceased production. Although no longer in use, all the tracks remain in place (albeit now with mature trees growing between them) and strangely, all road signs are maintained at the level crossings despite there being no chance of any trains passing through any more.
