Class 20's, 20173+20189 come off the Alfreton-Sheffield main line as they approach Tibshelf Sidings with a rake of empty mineral wagons. The line to Blackwell Sidings from Blackwell South Junction is visible on the left. On the top left are wagons in the private siding of Alfreton Explosives Rough Close Works. With the closure of the collieries in the 1980's the Blackwell Branch closed and the tracks have been lifted. However, the line the 20's are running on remains in use as a freight line.
