Maesycrugiau railway station (Carmarthen, Wales) in Sep 1957 - closed 1965 - colour version

My hand *coloured (if you want to use it please credit me and link to this description) version, of an old amateur photograph taken from a train in Sep 1957, of Maesycrugiau railway station (Maes-y-crugiau railway station) in Carmarthen, Wales. The station was closed to passengers when the ex-GWR Carmarthen - Aberystwyth through service stopped in Feb 1965, goods traffic continued until Sep 1965, the line remaining in place for milk traffic until Sep 1973.

The original BnW photo is here - flic.kr/p/2pwHurA

The photo is annotated with "Maesycrugiau looking south, 14/9/57", there is no photographer name.

* My hand (not machine AI) coloured images are more sketch or watercolour like than colour transparency or print like. They are an impression of that subject and period, rather than an accurate representation of how the image/subject actually looked when the photo was taken.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.

📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷
