View northward, towards Tapton Junction, Sheffield, Rotherham, Leeds etc. A scene typical of the time - and very wet - when all four lines through here were in constant use and light-engine workings had to be minimized to save line occupation. Heading is Stanier 8F 2-8-0 No. 48357 (built 1944, withdrawn 9/66) with two 3F 0-6-0s and another 2-8-0 behind.
