View northward from the station, towards Normanton and Leeds: ex-Midland Sheffield - Leeds main line, disused since 1968 owing to mining subsidences: the 'C' board marks the commencement of a temporary speed restriction, no doubt due to one of these. (See Image]). The Class H freight is headed by LMS Fowler 4F 0-6-0 No. 44538 (built 1928, withdrawn 1/64). Behind is New Moncton Colliery.
