Quakers Yard viaduct being doubled in width to accomodate a double track. The line was originally single track. Beyond is a tunnel which was replaced by a deep cutting seen under constrction. The line was kept open to traffic during the remodelling! This line still in use between Cardiff and Merthyr, although now single track again.
