Woodburn Junction on the old Great Central Railway as seen from a footbridge. This was once a busy junction with coal trains coming out of the South Yorkshire Coalfields from the marshalling yard at Wath, in the direction straight ahead. The line off to the right lead to the marshalling yard at Tinsley. An unusual feature of the 1 to 50000 Ordnance Survey map is the incorrect positioning of the footbridge relative to the track junction. As can be seen from the picture, the junction is to the West of the footbridge, not the other way round. The 1 to 25000 Explorer map is more accurate though.
