This is Neath and Brecon Junction. Once you could catch a train to Brecon straight ahead from the line on the left via Seven Sisters. Now this line is only open for coal which is loaded at the washery at Onllwyn. The line where the train is approaching leads to the open cast loading point at Cwmgwrach north of Resolven. The trees have grown here over the years.
