Penarth Dock Station - Another former GWR pannier tank engine number 6438 at Penarth Dock Station. The station was opened on the 20th February 1878. The main road to the dock runs below the steel box girder section bridge whilst the platform is spanned with planking at this point. In the distance are the TVR Cogan Junction signal box of 1889 which sits at the rear of the new box. When opened, in August 1926, it made the older redundant. Another photograph posted by Peter Brabham on Flickr [381] but taken by John Wiltshire [432] in September 1960. The sidings to the Penarth Dock hold a number of coal trucks but the dock at this date had been closed for shipments of coal twenty-four years previously.

1925 - 'Mr. H. T. Hobbs, writing from Penarth, mentions that the large signal box at Cogan Junction, on the Taff Vale section, G.W.R., is being replaced by a smaller cabin having only 50 levers. Siding movements operated from the old box are now to be worked by hand. New concrete signal posts are being used and the " somersault " signals done away with. A route-indicating signal has been installed for the siding connections from the down relief line.' -  Railway Magazine [053] July 1925
