Disused railway line, Pontyberem
This was part of the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway, constructed in the 19th century to transport coal down the valley. During the 20th century it also carried passengers, but the service ceased in 1953. Coal freight continued until 1996, when the mines were closed (Railway information was found here - http://www.colonelstephenssociety.co.uk/BPGVLR.html ).

Level Crossing on the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway
The last train on the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway ran in 1996 when the last coal mine that it served ceased production. Although no longer in use, all the tracks remain in place (albeit now with mature trees growing between them) and strangely, all road signs are maintained at the level crossings despite there being no chance of any trains passing through any more.
