caption_attribution_description: English: Old railway halt This is all that remains of the halt at Glogue. It appears to have been incorporated into a private garden but the old platform is clearly visible. The Whitland &amp; Taf Vale Railway was incorporated on 1 July 1869 to extend its line to Crymych. The Engineer was James Weekes Szlumper of Aberystwyth. The line opened to Glogue on 24 March 1873 and to Crymych in October 1874; in both cases for freight. Passenger services had to wait until 12 July 1875. The line was closed in 1962.
context_page_description: Glogue is a hamlet and post town, 1 mile north of Llanfyrnach, in the community of Crymych in the east of the county of Pembrokeshire, Wales.
  It was the site of slate quarrying from the 18th century; the industry employed over 80 men when the railway came to the area in the 19th century and improved distribution.
  Quarrying ended in 1926 and the railway closed in 1962.
  Glogue Farm is just north of the settlement, in Clydau community.
context_section_description: The railway line was further extended to Crymmych Arms in October 1874, via Glogue Halt. In 1877 the name was changed to the Whitland & Cardigan Railway and the extension to Cardigan opened on 1 September 1886. The Great Western Railway took over the working as of that date and three locomotives were added to stock although the complete undertaking was not purchased until 1890.
  The line was noted for its rural nature, with the railway passing through small centres of population, with attractive scenery and over severe gradients. All trains going north stopped at Glogue to take on water, before attempting the climb to Crymych and beyond to the summit towards Boncath. For many in the area, the line was the focus of the local community, gaining the nickname the Cardi Bach.
  The line was closed to passenger traffic on 8 September 1962, the last train being the 5.45pm Cardigan Mail.
