REALLY SideTracked - Cefntilla Halt Traditional Geocache

Since placing really sidetracked caches in Glascoed and Usk I took an interest in the Coleford, Monmouth, Usk and Pontypool line and have been researching the locations of other stations along the line.  This cache is placed near the location of Cefntilla Halt although I cannot be exact for its location and could indeed have been under the A449. 

Cefntilla Halt was a request stop on the former line.  It was the last station to open on the line.  If you can call it a station it consisted of a small trestle platform with a length of 12ft and was illuminated by an oil lamp.    There was no room for the nameboard on the platform and it had to be placed on the bank above the platform.  It was opened on 27 March 1953 and was open for less than two years, closing in 1955 when the railway closed. It was not near any particular village but was located near Cefntilla Court, the family seat of the Somerset family, the current holders of the title Baron Raglan and relatives of the House of Beaufort.   It was construction was first suggested by FitzRoy Somerset, 4th Baron Raglan to the British Rail in 1953 to bring needed passenger traffic to the line, which was under threat of closure.
