Eastbound goods entering Aberdare High Level on the Vale of Neath line
The train is coming up from the direction of Hirwaun and Neath, headed by one of the 274 engines acquired in 1922 by the GWR from the Taff Vale Railway, renumbered and 'Swindonized': TVR 'A' class 0-6-2T No. 314 (built 8/1908 as No. 111, withdrawn 12/49). The combination of two Home signals on one post is somewhat unusual: the one facing protected the crossing to the Dare Valley Branch, which went off to the left. The High Level station, but not the line from Hirwaun, was closed on 13/6/64 but restored and reopened 3/10/88 as the terminus of a revived passenger service from Cardiff via Abercynon. This runs over the former Taff Vale branch by a connection with the Vale of Neath line, short of Aberdare Low Level station which had been closed on 30/10/64.

Freight track past the former Aberdare (High Level) railway station
Currently (early 2014) for freight only, the track alongside the former station http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3840712 continues to Hirwaun about 7km away. It was announced in March 2011 that the Welsh Assembly Government's 2011-2012 capital programme would include the reopening of this line for passenger services as part of the Cynon Valley Scheme. However, there was no sign of any such work in progress nearby.
