This is the Leeds to Castleford line which now carries a twice-hourly passenger service to Sheffield or Knottingley, and occasional freight. In the heyday of the railways, this was a four-track main line, with a four-track branch off to the left serving the Midland Railway's Crown Point goods depot where a birch wood has grown up (far left), and nearer the camera a mineral line bringing coal from the Middleton collieries to Leeds gas works crossed the line on a bridge - you can just see the left hand abutment.
