The locomotive is just about to leave the yard through the gates. There is only a short stretch of track beyond the gates and very little behind it in the yard, but enough to get a far turn of speed. The yard has access to the Sheffield to Chesterfield line, at the south. I wonder if the young girl in the carriage knows that the steam locomotive is younger than her.
