Passing the site of Garndiffaith Junction ? 1969
Type 3 (Class 37) locomotive with a short train of mineral wagons descends the line from Big Pit, Blaenavon. This was the former LNWR Abersychan Extension branch, which had closed to general freight as early as 1954, and had subsequently been reduced to single track.
The junction, actually on the viaduct, was with industrial lines that came up the formation where the photographer is standing, serving a number of collieries on the western side of the valley as well as, originally, the British Iron Works. The line has been adapted to form a footpath and cycleway up the valley, and this view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4679696 is taken at almost exactly the same location.

Garndiffaith Viaduct from the north
The eastern side of the viaduct, viewed along Viaduct Road from near the High Street junction.
The brickwork viaduct was built in the 1870s to carry the Brynmawr and Blaenavon Railway across a valley and stream, from Garndiffaith in the east to Talywain in the west. It is about 200 metres long. Closed to passenger traffic in 1941, it remained in use for mineral traffic until 1980. The viaduct now carries National Cycle Route 46.
