Talyllyn railway station
Three railway lines, from Brecon, Hereford and Merthyr, met in a triangular junction in this quiet and beautiful countryside. When this photograph was taken all passenger services had ceased and there was but the odd goods train between Merthyr and Brecon on the fiercely-graded line via Torpantau. The refreshment room (see smoke from chimney) was still open and it was possible to get a pint and a snack! Just beyond the station is the portal of the tunnel originally built for the horse-drawn Hay Railway.

Talyllyn West Junction
This junction was at the east end of Talyllyn station. The line from Brecon coming from the left divided here: the left branch went to Talyllyn North junction and on to Hereford, while the right branch went to Talyllyn East junction, then to Merthyr via Torpantau. The nearest track had rails polished by the weekly freight train between Merthyr and Brecon, the only traffic then using this remote triangular junction.

Graves of pets at Talyllyn station
The slate tablets are inscribed in memory of the dog Prince died 1888 aged 7 years, and the blackbird Dick. It looked as though the graves had been tended until passenger services were abandoned and the station closed. The later addition is a comment on railway staff morale at the time of the Beeching cuts.
