Reddish Loco Depot
Rows of class 76 1500v DC electric locomotives stand beside the depot buildings. Built for the Woodhead route in the early 1950's, the decision in the late 1950's to go for 25Kv AC traction on future electrifications made them obsolescent overnight. The Woodhead route closed in 1981 and the class were withdrawn en-masse in July of that year.

Reddish Loco Depot
40055 sits outside Reddish Depot. This shed was constructed in 1954 to be the primary maintenance depot for the 1500v electric locomotives operating over the Woodhead Route between Manchester and Sheffield via Penistone. It also maintained the Manchester - Glossop/Hadfield electric units, one of which can be seen on the right of the photo. The Woodhead Route closed in 1981 and the depot closed in 1983. Although the buildings were subsequently demolished, their footprint is still visible on Google maps at this time.
