View NE, towards Rotherham (Masborough), Leeds/York; ex-Midland Sheffield - Leeds/York etc. main line. This is one of the two main lines that run through the Don Valley between Sheffield and Rotherham, passing through a succession of great steelworks and associated industry. Both the ex-Midland (here) and the ex-Great Central lines were immensely busy with freight traffic and heaven to the 'train-watcher' if to no one else. Brightside station was not closed until quite recently (30/1/95) when Meadowhall Interchange and the Sheffield Super-Tram supplanted it.
