Unusual rolling stock and fantastic scenery. It's actually a few years since I last visited it, but I think that photo was taken near Dolygaer at the point where the BMR deviates slightly from the original formation so as to avoid a sailing club or some such. The fascination to me is seeing how it fits into the former Brecon & Merthyr infrastructure and viewing what remains of that and its connections, especially at the Pant end and at Pontsticill. E.g. this view of the old Pant station which I took about seven years ago.() Title: Re: Where was I today? 29th May 2017 Post by: eightf48544 on May 30, 2017, 15:00:20 The railway geography of the area North & West of Methyr/Dowlais. was surprisingly complex
