Waterloo Halt railway station
Waterloo Halt railway station was a small halt which served the community of Rudry in Caerphilly, South Wales between 1908 and 1956. Like other halts on the line, Waterloo was very basic, consisting of a single ground-level platform made from sleepers, a name-board and one lamp (though the halt did have a second lamp for at least some of its later life). There was no shelter, with passengers being confined to a fenced enclosure, whose gate to the platform would be unlocked by the guard when the train arrived. Located on the original Brecon  & Merthyr Loop Line (as opposed to the second line which was built later by the Pontypridd, Newport & Caerphilly Railway), Waterloo Halt was served by 'down' services only. Fountain Bridge Halt on the opposite side of the river (on the PN&CR line) was served by the 'up' trains. The halt closed in 1956 when the passenger service was withdrawn. The site is now the garden of a private residence.
