caption_attribution_description: English: Conwil Station, from train. View eastward, towards Lampeter and Aberystwyth; ex-Great Western Aberystwyth - Lampeter - Carmarthen line. I took the photograph from the 17.50 train from Carmarthen on a journey to Aberystwyth. No one seems to have got on or off on this June 1962 occasion, so not surprisingly passenger services ceased on 22/2/65, when the line was closed completely (Aberystwyth - Strata Florida two months earlier, owing to flood damage); freight traffic, principally milk and agricultural, continued between Carmarthen, Pencader, Lampeter, Newcastle Emlyn and Felin Fach (Aberayron branch) until 1/10/73.
context_page_description: Cynwyl Elfed is a village and community in the county of Carmarthenshire, Wales. The community includes the villages of Cynwyl Elfed, Blaenycoed and Cwmduad. It is situated about 5 miles north of Carmarthen and had a population of 953 in 2001, increasing to 1,044 at the 2011 Census.
  The area around the village has yielded a significant number of Roman artefacts, including a statue of Diana. It was the most important centre of the commote of Elfed in the Middle Ages.
  Cynwyl Elfed transmitting station stands on high ground to the north of the village.
context_section_description: The Gwili Railway (Welsh: Rheilffordd Gwili) is a Welsh standard gauge heritage railway from the former Abergwili Junction, near Carmarthen, along a short section of the former Carmarthen to Aberystwyth railway that closed for passenger traffic in 1965. Based at Bronwydd Arms railway station, the Gwili Railway currently owns 8 miles (13 km) of the old railway line, which once ran past Cynwyl Elfed.
