Photochrom - Livingston Thompson & Merddin Emrys crossing at Tan y Bwlch c1895. While the middle siding has been cut back, the down shelter is still the 1883 'barn'. Livingston Thompson is in charge of the Down train and is newly fitted with vacuum pipes. John Parry Jones is the driver with a young Morris Davies as fireman. Merddin Emrys is taking water (note the stovepipe chimneys). The Up mixed train includes loaded slate wagons, which is unusual for an Up working and what look like building materials. The coal wagons are a mixture of iron 3-ton (and possibly a narrower 2-ton) and larger wooden 4-ton vehicles.
A horse-drawn wagonette awaits passengers besides the station building bound for the Oakeley Arms Hotel. The Barn, on the left, served as a passenger shelter before being replaced by the Station House. By this date the locomotives and passenger stock had been fitted with vacuum brakes, and as a consequence goods stock had to be marshalled behind the carriages as seen here. The middle road was taken out of use and the diamond crossing replaced by a trailing turnout from the Up line into the goods yard.
