Hi - great photo! However, this isn't Kerry railway station, but Abermule on the main line between Welshpool and Newtown. This was where (until February 1931) passengers changed for the Kerry branch. There's a branch-line train standing on the far side of the platform on the right of the photo; the main, arriving train is heading towards Newtown. Kerry railway station was actually at Glanmule, a mile east of Kerry itself. The branch was 3.75 miles long and followed the Mule upstream, on a more or less parallel course to that of today's B4368 road.
