Bridge over disused railway at Pont Newydd The railway up the Gwendraeth Fawr valley is no more, but the road still has to cross it. There are three marked bridges at Pont Newydd: this one where the road crosses the railway, another where the road crosses the river, and a third where the railway crosses the river - though I didn't see that one. There now seems to be a maintained path alongside the former railway. At Pont Newydd you'd be forgiven for thinking there was an overgrown canal, but if you look through the weeds you can see submerged rusting rails. This is a bit of a surprise, since railways usually have such good drainage.

Road bridge over disused railway line The railway line that this road crosses was almost completely obscured by trees that looked like they'd been growing for at least 10 years - the tracks, although there, were completely obscured.

Level crossing... This level crossing's signs are looking quite modern - however it's about the only evidence that a railway used to cross this road! The road has obviously been resurfaced since the railway closed and careful examination revealed that the rails are still there - under the tarmac! On both sides, there was some healthy overgrowth - no train has travelled along this line for a long time.
