The station was on the original section of the line between Abercynon and Quakers Yard, which was to the left of the present-day line. The eponymous Incline was a steep gradient of 1 in 22, and trains required a stationary winding engine (installed by Brunel) to surmount it. The station was accessible only by a steep flight of steps leading to the bottom of a deep cutting in the incline. The station's life was brief and it closed after 12 years. The original line was eventually abandoned completely and replaced in 1864.[1] After the station closed, it was left to decay until being largely destroyed by a violent cyclone on 27 October 1913, a storm, which caused considerable damage across the district[2], including destroying the spire of St. Mary's Church, Glyntaff[3]. The site of the station is now overgrown with trees and is not easily noticeable. {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line |previous={{stnlnk|Abercynon}}Line & station open |next={{stnlnk|Quakers Yard}} Line & station open |route=Taff Vale Railway |col={{TVR colour}} }}{{end box}} References1. ^{{cite book|last=Hutton|first=John|title=The Taff Vale Railway Volume I|date=2006|publisher=Silver Link|location=Kettering|isbn=9781857942491|page=72}} {{Wales-railstation-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Hutton|first=John|title=The Taff Vale Railway Miscellany|date=1988|publisher=Oxford Publishing Company|location=Sparkford|isbn=0860934144}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Powell|first=R|title=Treforest, Glyntaff & Rhydyfelin|date=2005|publisher=Tempus|location=Stroud|isbn=0752435078|page=95}} 4 : Disused railway stations in Rhondda Cynon Taf|Former Taff Vale Railway stations|Railway stations opened in 1846|Railway stations closed in 1858 |
