Shunting at Tibshelf
Class 20's, 20173+20068 arrive at Tibshelf Sidings with a train of empty mineral wagons. They will continue under the bridge before setting back into the sidings which are visible on the right behind the semaphore signals. The tracks on the left are the main line from Sheffield. Tibshelf Sidings, along with Blackwell Sidings and Westhouses Depot served the many collieries in the area. With the closure of the collieries in the 1980's the sidings and a number of lines have also closed and much of the track has been lifted. On the hillside behind are houses constructed by the Midland Railway for its employees - appropriately named Midland Terrace.
