Bridgend ROF railway remains - a photo on Flickriver

Some weeks ago, on one of the social-media groups to which I belong, a photograph was posted of a short section of surviving railway track from the once-vast system at the former Royal Ordnance Factory in Bridgend. A few days later I went to see and photograph this section and my photo shown here was taken on 3rd May 2015 and is probably the only surviving piece of track still in situ. This set my thoughts to wondering about the railway and how large a system it was, so commenced a little research by consulting old maps.
