| 説明 | A trackbed walk from Taffs Well to Penrhos Junction and back 21 July 2020.This bridge carried the Barry Railway line from Tynycaeau Junction (on that company's main line from Barry to the Rhondda Valley) to Penrhos Junction, where it met the Rhymney Railway at the top of the 'Big Hill' from Taffs Well. This section was opened on 1 August 1901 and was extended eastwards across the Rhymney Valley to a junction with the Newport & Brecon Railway north of Bedwas on 1 January 1905. Despite the massive viaduct to take the BR across the Rhymney Valley, it only had a life from 1 January 1905 until an Act of Parliament on 4 August 1926 permitted closure with immediate effect. There were never any daily passenger services over the BR through Penrhos Junction, but seasonal excursions ran this way until the 1960s. The last section to remain open was to serve the Dolomite quarry and works on the far side of Walnut Tree Viaduct, the end of rail traffic resulting in closure on 18 December 1967, and that saw the end of rail traffic here. This was formerly a very minor road, but by a mixture of decay and deliberate action it is now only a wide footpath, impassable to four-wheeled vehicles. Although the bridge itself has gone, the parapets survive and a substantial pipeline runs alongside the trackbed. |
