Train from Brecon at Moat Lane Junction, 1957
View eastward, towards Newtown, Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Whitchurch on the ex-Cambrian main line from Aberystwyth and the Welsh Coast. The train has come from Brecon by the ex-GWR Mid-Wales line via Builth, Rhayader and Llanidloes. This closed from 31/12/62 together with this station, although goods trains continued as far as Llanidloes until 1967. The locomotive is No. 46503 (built 11/52, withdrawn 5/67), one of the many LMS-type Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0s that in its last decade worked almost all services on the Mid-Wales line. The River Severn is off to the left and the hills on the right are the Cefn Nith, rising to 1,040 feet. (See alsoImage).

Moat Lane Junction Station, with train
View westward, towards Machynlleth and the Coast (ahead). The Mid-Wales line to Llanidloes, Builth and Brecon started from here, using separate platforms that are out of frame to the left, as is the line which curved away immediately. Two LMS Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0s can be seen, one of them on the 16.15 Newtown to Machynlleth local train. The station was closed on 31/12/62, when the Mid-Wales line was closed (apart from a goods service to Llanidloes until 2/10/67). (A lovely view in the upper reaches of the Severn Valley, with perhaps its source, Plynlimon, on the horizon).
