Thorpe Gates
A level crossing on the Shaftholme Junction to Knottingley line. This scene will change considerably over the coming months. A new railway viaduct linking this line to that from Hatfield and Stainforth to Joan Croft Junction will cut across the left of the picture.
The railway here was built by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and opened in 1848. It closed to regular passenger services in 1947 but remains as a well-used freight line.

New railway flyover at Shaftholme Junction
Officially called the North Doncaster Chord, this viaduct opened in 2014 enables trains (principally coal trains to power stations in West Yorkshire) to cross the East Coast Main Line instead of having to run along it for several miles to the next junction north at Temple Hirst Image At least initially, the route is not electrified.
For a view of the site at the start of construction see Image
