Looking south-west away from Blodwell Junction staion in 1948. The junction after which the station was named is clearly illustrated as are its contolling home signals. The lower signal arm controlled access to the Nantmawr branch to Llanymynech which can be seen curving off to the left. The taller arm controlled access to the Tanat Valley Light railway route to Llangynog. When this view was taken it was not possible for trains to reach Llanymynech as the line had closed as a through route in 1925. A stub of it had been retained for shunting purposes.

After the line was cut back from the passenger station side of the road bridge the buffer stops were located to the right of the photographers position. In 1985 the line was extended back towards the bridge to facilitate the installation of a run around loop.Photo by Paul Wright
