Inside the former goods shed at Haworth

On the preserved Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and seen on a guided tour of the workshops. This is now part of the maintenance facilities but was originally a goods transhipment shed. The massive roof girders support the first floor that was used for storing baled wool for the local textile mills. In the left background is a class 37 diesel electric locomotive - No. 37 075. This is privately owned but stabled on the KWVR. It is used occasionally but is probably bigger than ideal for this branch line. It was built in 1962 by English Electric. It was purchased for preservation in 1999 and after spells on various railways and changing hands, it came to the KWVR in 2012. The locomotive appeared on television in 2013 in The Great Train Robbery.
