Summary
[edit]DescriptionSignal on the Swansea Vale Railway - geograph.org.uk - 818279.jpg |
English: Signal on the Swansea Vale Railway A rather sad and neglected looking signal on the Swansea Vale Railway.
On a cursory look, this looks fine but a more detailed examination reveals that this signal has been the subject of weather damage and vandalism over the many years it has stood here. It was the most complete example of a signal found on the line however - the others were either missing or had suffered far worse over the intervening years. Even as part of the heritage service, the signal served little use as in latter use, the short stretch beyond the station area was only used as a reversing siding to allow locomotives to be reversed and relocated to the front of carriages about to move in the opposite direction down the line. In the distance is the northern station that was used as a terminus for the heritage line that used this railway until a couple of years ago - now threatened with closure by the local council in favour of redevelopment into industrial and residential use. |
