The route of the former Brecon Curve Junction a disused railway route in Hereford in Herefordshire. These tracks left Hereford Railway Station (then called Hereford Barrs Court Station) before splitting into the now disused Hereford, Hay and Brecon Railway and the now closed Hereford Barton Railway Station.
The Hereford, Hay-on-Wye and Brecon Railway, which ran from Three Cocks Junction to Hereford (Brecon Curve Junction), was built up the Wye Valley in stages, eventually opening at Hereford in September 1864; the line linked up with the Mid Wales Railway and the Brecon and Merthyr Railway. Opened in several stages, the first section opened between Hereford and Moorhampton to goods traffic on the 24th October 1862, to Eardisley for goods and passengers on the 30th June 1863 and reached Hay-on-Wye on the 11th July 1864. The line reached the Three Cocks Junction on the 19th September 1864. The remainder of the line to Brecon had been taken over by different railway companies before construction had started with the section from Three Cocks Junction to Talyllyn becoming part of the Mid Wales Railway and the Talyllyn to Brecon section becoming part of the Brecon and Merthyr Railway. The line was closed to passenger traffic on 31st December 1962. In 1964 the line was closed to goods traffic between Eardisley and Three Cocks Junction and later in the same year the line was closed completely.
