Cymer Afan
A quiet village in the Welsh Valleys, Cymer Afan once had two railways running East-West plus this line to North Rhonnda. The viaduct, of composite stone and steel construction, is a little known relic. In May 2010 a recent grass fire allowed a well defined shadow of the girders down the North side of the valley. The viaduct provided a breath of fresh air for up engine crews, as it was just outside the tunnel from Caerau. see image 49918 for a view about a mile West, of the line on the South side of the valley
