Abercynon Signalling Centre
Opened in 2008, the centre controls the railway signals and points in the area adjacent to Abercynon railway station, from where this view was taken. The signalling centre replaced a wood and brick signalbox http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3076359 located on a station platform.

Disused signalbox viewed from the SW, Abercynon
Viewed along the platform used for arrivals from the south and departures to the north, along either the Aberdare line or the Merthyr Tydfil line. The signalbox http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3076359 was in use until 2008, when it was replaced by the newly-built signalling centre. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3076373

A green view SW from Abercynon railway station
The railway line uses the relatively flat land in the valley of the River Taff. This line is normally used for arrivals from the south. The signal in the distance showing red means that the line can be used for reverse working in special circumstances.
