Here's a strange picture. Track appears to be laid on the platform: http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2220159350036930428XkPhuc Is this a double-exposure image, perhaps? Some of the passengers appear to be standing on the rails. Also, the return curve beyond the turnout looks extremely tight. A much larger image is available, click the "Full Size" link on the right. Martin. |

Martin, Did you read the various comments made on this, and the adjacent railway picture in the folder 'Gilfach Goch in Times Past" at http://community.webshots.com/user/mokkkkk ? To me, the tracks on the follow the platform edge much too neatly for a double exposure. It's said in comments to be an SLS railtour (note h/board) at a long-disused miner's pltform at a colliery, so it's not unreasonable that track was laid over to old platform. Prototype-for-everything Dept ? Regards, Rodney Hills |

It does say that it's the colliers' platform not the public station, say maybe usual standards didn't apply. Nigel |

It also says that regular passenger trains had not ventured here since the 1920s, although I don't know if this included miner's trains. John |

See the next picture in the sequence - http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2625001140036930428RrtLPs - which was clearly taken much earlier, when there were still station buildings. Ian |
