Canton Traction Maintenance Depot was rebuilt and opened on 18 September 1964 as a heavy maintenance and servicing facility for diesel locomotives, shunters and multiple units.

A very close working relationship with its customers resulted in hire contracts with Valley Lines and Allied Steel & Wire Limited.

With a wealth of previously unpublished images, Martin Bray offers a loving tribute to this popular South Wales railway depot.
