Oswestry Station Shropshire 26th April 1975

            The End of the Line at Oswestry Station. By 1975 the only activity here was a a single line from Gobowen through the station to Llanyblodwel quarry used by freight trains until 1988.

The old Cambrian Railways 1860 headquarters building is on the left behind the derelict signal box and the remains of the platforms are on the right. The iron footbridge in the distance links the town with the former CR loco works.

Cambrian Heritage Railways plans to reopen the line between Oswestry and Llanyblodwel, and eventually to Gobowen to reconnect with the mainline. They also operate the Cambrian Railways Museum in the Oswestry railway station's former goods depot which is behind the white gate far left.
