Cwm Bargoed railway station

Cwm Bargoed railway station was near the village of Fochriw,[i] in the Taff Bargoed valley of Caerphilly County Borough, Wales, from 1876 to 1964 on the Rhymney Railway.

The station was 4 km (2.5 mi) east of Merthyr Tydfil, but was in a parallel valley.

Nearby were various mines, which was situated on a mineral branch, and Cwm Bargoed Colliery.

The mineral line closed in 1937, most of the remains being lost in the Cwm Bargoed Washery.

[2] The tracks still remain, which are used to transport coal from the Ffos-y-fran Land Reclamation Scheme.
