The former Woodhead railway line as it approaches Penistone from the west, with Eastfield Avenue alongside the railway to the right. The train was a private charter for members of the Oxford University Railway Society, a few months before the line finally closed. I had tried before to locate this photo from my archive, believing it was at the other end of the line around Hadfield, but finally placed it here by locating the houses with the help of aerial photography on the Wheres-the-Path website.
