Margam Sorting Sidings South Box

66709 leaves Margam running shed in 2006 and heads to Margam Abbey Works East Junction. The track to the immediate right was the engine release siding from the running shed and the track to the right gave access to the remaining Margam Marshalling Yard sidings and repair shed yard. The disused Margam Sorting Sidings South Box is to the right.

Since the photograph was taken the running shed and repair yard have been closed and demolished and the box also demolished. Only the track on the right remains today giving access to a few sidings remaining on the east side of the Margam Marshalling Yard and some of the repair yard sidings.

The photograph is from the former alignment which linked the Ogmore Valleys Extension (Port Talbot Railway and Docks Company) to the Steel Company of Wales' Abbey South Sidings.
